Emoz - Origami Museum of Zaragoza

The School-Museum EMOZ is located on the top floor of the Centro de Historias.

The building has been designed in agreement with the old ground plan of the convent church, of which only the crypt and façade remain today. The Baroque façade and its bell-tower, from the beginning of the 18th century, have been enabled as the main entrance to the Centre from San Agustin square. The original elements, including its decorative and heraldic motifs, have been preserved as much as possible during the restoration. On the other hand, the preserved space of the crypt of the old church, in basement 1 of the building, is also incorporated. Thus, the main nave of the Centre is developed between the historical façade and the crypt.

Zaragoza is a city where Papiroflexia has been pronounced with its own name for some time: the existence of a gathering of folders has been documented since 1944.

In 1978, the Grupo Zaragozano de Papiroflexia was renewed and since then has developed many popular activities, such as the airplane festivals of the 80's or the delivery of the paper mantle to the Virgen del Pilar in 2007.

One of the Group's main concerns was and continues to be the organisation of international meetings and exhibitions. The most important took place in the Centro de Historias de Zaragoza in 2009.

From that moment it became evident that the first European origami museum would be in Zaragoza.

The collection housed in the School-Museum has been created with the tenacity of the members of the group thanks to the relationships established by its members throughout its more than sixty years of history.

The friendship with great folders: Akira Yoshizawa, Yoshihide Momotani, Eric Joisel, Vicent Floderer and so many others has allowed to group in a single place the best set of origami works in the world.

Shared correspondence, international encounters and exhibitions have been key for the Zaragozan Papyroflexia Group and its members to fill the rooms of the School-Museum with high quality works through acquisitions and donations.

The Museum organizes successive activities and courses for members and amateurs of the art of papyroflexia.
