Naked Meets Gaudi Exhibition

Prominent creative studio Naked is drawing on its digital art technology expertise to bring the visionary world of Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926) to life. Following a popular run in Tokyo that attracted over 170,000 visitors earlier this year, the exhibition now arrives in Osaka. 

This is not a fan tribute. Held in conjunction with the 100th anniversary of Gaudí’s death and the completion of the Sagrada Familia’s central tower of Jesus Christ, ‘Naked Meets Gaudi’ is an officially sanctioned exhibition produced in collaboration with the Gaudí Foundation.

The comprehensive display of rare archival materials – including letters, manuscripts, personal notebooks, blueprints and architectural tools – offers a deep dive into Gaudí’s genius mind. You’ll learn about his singular approach to architecture, defined by an organic, nature-inspired aesthetic that shaped everything from Casa Batlló and Casa Milà to Park Güell and his magnum opus, the Sagrada Familia. Today, seven of his works are collectively designated as a Unesco World Heritage Site.

What sets this exhibition apart from a typical museum show is the inclusion of immersive, experiential elements – something Naked is known for. With cutting-edge projection mapping and interactive installations, you’ll not only see Gaudí’s distinctive designs and understand his revolutionary approach, but also experience his fantastical architecture in a truly sensorial way. In fact, the immersive Sagrada Familia area at this Osaka exhibition will be enhanced compared to Tokyo.

Early bird tickets with a discount of ¥300 are now on sale until April 16.

Note: the exhibition closes at 6pm (last entry 5pm) on May 29, June 5 and June 15.
