Gaudi and Verdaguer: Traditionalism and Modernism in Early 20th-Century Barcelona Type: Exposition City: BARCELONA Location: Museu d'Historia de la Ciutat From 21/3/2002 to 30/8/2002 Tel: +34 93 315 11 11 Two great figures of Catalan art One was the greatest Catalan architect, the other a masterful wordsmith: both are being honoured this year as Spain celebrates the 150th anniversary of Antonio Gaudi's birth and the centenary of Jacint Verdaguer's death. Rather than pay a separate tribute to each man, the city's museum of history has chosen to reunite these two great symbols of 19th-century Catalan culture in a single exhibition. Objects, original documents and period photographs throw light on Verdaguer's work and thinking, while reproductions of Gaudi's buildings evoke his legacy of architectural genius.
