Antoni Gaudí’s first building, an architectural treasure housing a vibrant contemporary art collection.
Nau Gaudí is usually open from Tuesday to Saturday from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM and from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, and on Sundays from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. It is closed on Mondays and public holidays. It is located at C/ de la Muralla del Tigre, s/n, 08301 Mataró. You can find more details on how to get there and plan your visit on the official Mataró City Council website.
Good news! Admission to Nau Gaudí is free, allowing you to enjoy this unique space at no cost. It is an excellent opportunity to explore Antoni Gaudí’s first work without worrying about your budget.
To fully enjoy the architecture and the exhibition at Nau Gaudí, I suggest setting aside between 45 minutes and 1 hour. This will allow you to appreciate Gaudí’s details and immerse yourself calmly in the artistic atmosphere of the works on display.
Nau Gaudí is extremely important because it was Antoni Gaudí’s first work, designed in 1878 as a workers’ cooperative facility. This building marks the beginning of his genius and is key to understanding the evolution of his style. Today, it houses the Bassat Collection of Contemporary Art, adding artistic and cultural value to the site.
For a quieter experience, I recommend visiting Nau Gaudí on weekday mornings just after opening, or in the middle of the afternoon. As for the best time of year, the spring months (April–May) and autumn (September–October) are usually ideal, as the weather is pleasant and there is less mass tourism.
Yes, Nau Gaudí is adapted for people with reduced mobility. It has ramps and suitable wheelchair access, although it is always a good idea to contact them in advance if you have any specific needs. You can call +34 937 582 390 for more information and to ensure a comfortable visit.
After visiting Nau Gaudí, you can explore Mataró’s historic center, with the Basilica of Saint Mary and its modernist market. The marina is also very close if you feel like taking a walk along the coast. For a deeper immersion, the Mataró Museum offers an insight into local history.
Wear comfortable shoes for walking, and if you are interested in contemporary art, take your time with the Bassat Collection.
