The Pavelló de la República CRAI Library

The Pavelló de la República CRAI Library is housed in a replica of the Pavelló de la República building that was constructed for the 1937 World Exhibition in Paris and destroyed after the event. On the event of the Olympic Games in 1992, Barcelona City Council commissioned the architects Antoni Ubach, Miquel Espinet and Juan Miguel Hernández León to create the replica.  In 1994, Barcelona City Council ceded this emblematic building to the University of Barcelona.

 

A reproduction of Picasso's Guernica can be found on a wall in the pavilion's open courtyard, in the same place as the painting's original location.
