The Fundació Joan Miró is a contemporary art museum in Barcelona, Catalonia, dedicated to the work of the painter Joan Miró. It stands on Montjuïc hill, at Parc de Montjuïc s/n, 08038 Barcelona, and is also known as the Joan Miró Foundation.
What a visit offers
The museum is devoted to a single artist, so a visit gives a focused view of his work rather than a broad survey of art history. Its collection and exhibitions centre on Miró, whose playful, colourful and symbolic style is closely tied to Catalonia. Visitors who enjoy modern art will find it a natural place to spend an hour or two.
The setting
- Its position on Montjuïc hill, reached through the park that surrounds it
- Views over the city, which many visitors come to see as much as the art
- A location that suits a half-day combining art with a walk through the hill's gardens
Planning your trip
The museum is easiest to enjoy if you allow time both for the galleries and for the park around it. If you want to confirm details before you go, such as current opening arrangements or exhibitions, you can call the foundation on +34 93 443 9470.
