Stories in form
The Sagrada’s museum-style exhibition space is dedicated to preserving and celebrating the art of vintage design. Each exhibition is thoughtfully curated to explore the materials, makers, and movements that shaped the design landscape of the 20th century — with a special focus on mid-century artifacts.
About the gallery
Our rotating displays serve not only as visual inspiration but also as educational tools, highlighting the cultural, artistic, and technical contributions of iconic designers, lesser-known artisans, and global influences alike.
From studio pottery and sculptural furnishings to pioneering American and European makers, every object tells a story of innovation, context, and craft.
What You’ll Find
The current exhibition features original works in ceramic, wood, metal, and glass — selected for their material integrity, distinct form, and lasting influence on design. Accompanying each piece are educational notes that trace its origin, designer, and significance, offering deeper context for students, collectors, and curious visitors alike.
This is not a static space. Exhibitions rotate throughout the year to reflect new research, emerging themes, and seasonal focus. Whether you're visiting for the first time or returning to see what’s changed, The Sagrada invites you to slow down, look closely, and learn something new.
Our Commitment
This gallery space is part of our ongoing commitment to design education, community access to art, and the preservation of mid-century heritage. By presenting design as both cultural artifact and living influence, we aim to cultivate awareness, inspire creativity, and support long-term cultural investment in our city.
