A comprehensive number of new features and 2,000 square metres of museum pathway that has never been seen before are shown here.
Gaudí Dome: The Genius’s Inspiration
What is the best way to describe a brilliant creation? What sparked his interest? Can you tell me about his history? The visitor is welcomed inside an immersive chamber that contains over one thousand screens, specifically designed to acquaint them to the origins of Gaudí’s geniality. A one-of-a-kind area for disconnecting, ‘Gaudí Dôme’ provides visitors with the opportunity to immerse themselves in the origin of a genius by providing them with a real red carpet. A beginning that, ever since he was a toddler, has been concerned with his unique connection to the natural world at large. This videoart installation is supported by a sound proposal that features 21 audio channels that reproduce the sounds of nature, and it is accompanied by 38 projectors that flood this videoart installation with magic employing volumetric projections. It is the ideal introduction to the universe that inspired Gaudí.
“The inspiration of the genius” is a show that features a variety of expressions and audiovisual sensations. It is situated in the building’s historic coal vaults. Miguel Alonso, an audiovisual producer, is the one who came up with the idea for this sensory voyage, which is basically a tour to the place where the genius was born and his first experience with nature. A lively display that provides the audience with the opportunity to take part in the creative process.
Gaudí Cube: In the Mind of Gaudí
Is it possible to put yourself in Gaudi’s shoes and perceive the world through his eyes? Do you ever wish you had his level of insight into the natural world’s systems and forms? This immersive work showcases the world’s first 6-sided LED cube, making it the last surprise of the visit. A ground-breaking engineering feat in a fully encompassing space with the potential to alter their view of reality and make the seemingly impossible attainable. A Casa Batlló-exclusive device that employs revolutionary technology and has the expressive power to convey one-of-a-kind emotions and sensations to everybody.
An immersive project by Refik Anadol titled “In the mind of Gaudí” opens this magical cube, inviting guests to explore a myth of building straight out of the brain of the Catalan architect. In the initial stage of this project, which aspired to build the biggest digital collection on Gaudí, rigour was the primary necessity and emotion was the ultimate goal. Through extensive research and the utilisation of Artificial Intelligence, Casa Batlló has amassed what is currently the biggest digital library on Gaudí, consisting of millions of data points, files, images, films, plans, texts, sketches, 3D models, and the architect’s original manuscripts.
Through the use of sophisticated machine learning algorithms, the previously concealed building patterns, biomimetic structures, and design logic have been uncovered. Permitting artist Refik Anadol to comprehend the impact that Gaudí has had on mankind, interpret his thoughts, envision his aspirations, perceive the world through his eyes, and uncover the inner haven and brilliance of a mysterious artist.

Revitalizing Tradition: The Rebirth of Casa Batlló
Since one of the most remarkable repairs was performed on the House in 2017, the visitor will view the greatest version of Casa Batlló. Through this endeavour, they were able to restore the Noble Floor’s original stuccoes, find and recreate the wainscoting, and retrieve lamps and other decorative pieces. In conclusion, it is important to note the restoration of the main façade. This project spanned from January to May 2019 and involved experts from seven different guilds. They cleaned, restored, and applied various conservation techniques to the five materials that make up the façade: stone, iron, ceramic, glass, and wood. Each of these materials required a unique treatment. See films
