Zaragoza Origami Museum

2 Plaza de San Agustín, Zaragoza, Aragón

Description

The Origami School-Museum of Zaragoza (EMOZ) displays one of the most impressive and comprehensive set of origami works (paperfolding) in the world. The works were created by the members of the ZaragozaNo Group throughout its more than sixty years of history. Its connections with some of the best-known folders such as Akira Yoshizawa, Yoshihide Momotani, Eric Joisel and Vicent Floderer has helped them put together this unique collection.

Access & Transport

The museum occupies the top floor of the former convent-barracks of San Agustín, to the east of the historical district of Zaragoza. Bus 22 stops on Calle Asalto, 50m from the building.

Instructions & Recommendations

Meta review

EMOZ is relatively under the radar but gets excellent online ratings from visitors who enjoy the diversity of styles and quality of pieces on display, the fact that explanations are provided in both Spanish and English, its family-friendly aspect, and even the building in which it is housed. No need to be a fan / connoisseur of origami to enjoy it according to reviewers.

Environmental & Social

We deem this activity environmentally neutral. Helps spread the arts

Conclusion

On paper (!), this museum is out of place - being historically and culturally unrelated to the city and Aragon - but it is so original, with a collection of such quality, and so affordable that it would be a missed opportunity not to make the detour and visit when in Zaragoza.

Key positive

Visually impressive

Enjoyable at all ages

Key negative

None

Suitability

We could not find any information online, but we suspect there is no lift to the top floor in this old, repurposed building.
