Catalonia Launches Yearlong Gaudí Commemoration as Researchers Reveal Possible Video

Organizers say the commemorations will foreground his scientific method.

Overview

  • The Año Gaudí program outlines seminars and four major exhibitions, including an immersive experience of his student proposal for Plaça de Catalunya.
  • A music-focused exhibition will tour leading European music museums, and two classical shows will present previously unexplored material, with one set to travel to Korea and Japan.
  • Curators aim to recast his legacy by highlighting calculation, experimentation and multidisciplinary practice to counter tourism-driven mythmaking.
  • Researchers underscore that the 1936 destruction of much of his archive and several models continues to hinder objective study of his oeuvre.
  • A newly publicized four‑second clip, said to show him leaving a 1922 wedding, rests on family testimony and comparative facial and body analysis, with verification still in progress.
