Miró Mallorca Foundation

 

The Foundation was established with the donation made by Joan Miró and his wife Pilar Juncosa, and is made up of various areas. The most striking of these is the main building, designed by Rafael Moneo and the workshop created for Miró by Josep Lluís Sert. The temporary exhibitions in the Espacio Estrella (star space) include pieces by Miró himself, in addition to temporary exhibitions of contemporary art. The Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró a Mallorca is unique to the world. It is one of the few museums where visitors can contemplate the artist’s creative surroundings, through direct contact with the studios in which Joan Miró worked from 1956 until his death in 1983. Through these studios, we gain an insight into the atmosphere that formed the backdrop to his work and we can reconstruct Miró’s creative process by contemplating his paintings, objects and the tools he used.
