Sagrada Familia, 2023: School And Museum

 After the towers, we did the school and museum, and, of course, the gift shop...

In 1906, with work well underway, Gaudi established a school on
the construction site premises, for the children of the workers

Helpful model, with undulating Gaudian roof...it would be until
the later 20th century that Friedensreich Hundertwasser would add
an undulating floor to the mix (helpful architectural insight) 

Classroom; note non-Modernista desks and benches

Undulating roof

In the museum now, a helpful chronology of the construction

OK, so, see, it was the Spiritual Association of
the Devotees of St. Joseph...

Helpful model #11,377, an early model

of his papers and designs, in the Civil War (Sherman's March to the 
Sea...wait, no...)

Helpful model #11,378, along with self-portrait of
the photographer

Re-creation of one of Gaudi's design models

All the chief architects who have worked on Sagrada Familia; so far

Actually the tienda was pretty good, as well it should be; among
the three best, Battlo, MNAC, and Sagrada Familia
