Description

Visit the emblematic Mies van der Rohe Pavilion in Barcelona with an entry ticket complete with audio guide. Designed by Mies van der Rohe and Lily Reich, the Pavilion was the German national pavilion for the 1929 Barcelona International Exhibition. Once the event was over, the Pavilion was dismantled. However, given the structure’s significance, the pavilion was later reconstructed and reopened on its original site in 1986. Today, this emblematic work of the Modern Movement serves as a benchmark that has not only been deeply influential for generations of architects and artists but also laid the foundations of modern architecture. The purity of its forms, its sobriety, the linear interplay between interiors and exteriors, and the precise contrasts in the palette of materials exquisitely chosen and brought from the Alps, Tivoli, Atlas, and Tinos all combine to form a perfect balance in this jewel of modern architecture.
