Where, when, how, and how much does it cost?

You can enjoy Pasajes in the temporary exhibition area of Casa Milà (La Pedrera) until January 25, 2026. The exhibition is open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. The ticket costs €14 (children under 12 can enter for free), and they can be purchased both online and at the exhibition hall itself. You also have the option of purchasing a combined ticket online for €26, which gives you access to this exhibition and the Joan Miró Foundation, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.

What languages is it in?

All information about the exhibition is available in Spanish, Catalan, and English. At the beginning of the tour, you will find a text with information about the artist and what you will see during the visit, as well as a paper brochure with additional information about the exhibition (including extra activities and a documentary filmed by David Trueba). As you walk through the rooms, the only information you will see are the titles of the works, inviting you to explore the installation and simply stroll around and enjoy the experience. If you prefer a more guided tour, at the beginning of the exhibition there is a QR code where you can download the audio guide to listen to on your phone. Remember to bring your own headphones if you choose this option!

What is it about and why should I go?

Cristina Iglesias is one of Spain's most internationally renowned contemporary artists. She is a sculptor who has exhibited her work in prestigious museums such as the Centre Pompidou, the Guggenheim Museum, MoMA, and the Reina Sofía Museum. Her work combines elements of architecture, nature, and literature to create pieces that are designed not only to be contemplated but also to be entered and experienced.

In Pasajes, the artist establishes a dialogue between the organic forms of nature and Gaudí's architecture and explores the relationship between natural vs. artificial and interior vs. exterior.

The word pasaje in Spanish refers both to a fragment of a literary text and to a narrow street connecting two places, and the title of the exhibition refers to both at the same time. If you want to know how, the best way is to go to La Pedrera and discover it for yourself!

Is it a good idea to go with children?

There is no specific area for children in the exhibition, although there is a guided tour designed specifically for families: Fantastic Walks with Cristina Iglesias. However, if you decide to visit the exhibition on your own, Cristina Iglesias' works are very intuitive to interpret and evoke labyrinths, forests, wells, corridors... which makes them very evocative and accessible for children.

Can I have a drink or grab something to eat near the exhibition?

The exhibition is right in the center of Barcelona, and there are all kinds of cafés and restaurants around La Pedrera, but you don't need to look any further to find a good place. Casa Milà itself has a pleasant café-bistro with views of both Paseo de Gracia and the building's interior courtyard. It's a surprisingly quiet place to have a coffee or tea with something sweet, or even brunch or a full meal.
