From the fantasy designs of theme park landscapes to a detailed investigation of local architect Antoni Gaudi, PortAventura offers a superb base for examining a diverse range of art and design in context.
Explore the themed lands of Mexico, China, Polynesia, Mediterrània and the Far West to investigate how different cultural characteristics are represented to the public. Appreciate the colours and textures used in the set designs and costumes of PortAventura’s spectacular shows.
Investigate exquisite sculptures and mosaic patterns in the nearby Roman city of Tarragona, see the Miro tapestry at the Museum of Modern Art. Explore links between art and nature at the fantastic interactive Gaudi Centre and follow a Modernist trail in the local town of Reus where the architect grew up. Then head for Barcelona to enjoy Gaudi’s amazing buildings and discover the secrets of the city’s Art Galleries.
