The name ´La Pedrera´ is what Casa Milà is informally known as, the famous building built at the beginning of the 20th century and that was finished in 1910. The architect was no less than the great Antoni Gaudí. Like all the works he directed, the modernist style building became an art icon and it´s visited every year by thousands of tourists who come from all over the world to attend the events that take place there.
The building had been ordered by the Milà family, hence its name, but later became a public building where today there is a cultural institution with a very broad programme. From the 25th of October 2011 until the 26th of February 2012, the exhibition of the artist Perejaume is open to the public. With the peculiar title of ´Ai Perejaume, si veies la munió d´obres que t´envolten, no en faries cap de nova!´ (which translates as ´Oh, Perejaume, if you saw the amount of works that surround you, you wouldn´t make any more new ones!´), the exhibition holds a total of 200 works from the Catalan artist, one of the favourites of all time.
