Just like Gaudí, Joan Miró was a quintessentially Catalonian artist, and a visit to his museum will give you a more vivid picture of Barcelona’s spirit and style.
The Fundació Joan Miró was set up by the artist in the 60s to encourage contemporary art in Barcelona, and Miró worked closely with the architect Josep Lluís Sert on the museum building’s design.
This means there’s a harmony between the venue and the work inside it that you won’t find very often. Within there’s a large collection of the artist’s work, including sculptures, drawings, and paintings. There are also temporary exhibitions of 20th and 21st-century art, and all sorts of collaborative and educational projects going on.
