Situated slightly out of the centre of Palma on a hill the site displays a good range of Miro's work and also has his studios to view although you look in rather than walk around (understandable with valuable artwork lying around!). The studios are at the top if the hill so be ready for some steps to climb. Overall well... More

The place is fabolous, with a big garden where you can see several of Miros sculptures. The museum is constructed in white stone and the is an amazing light inside to give the paintings and sculptures best possible conditions. More

I wasn't as keen as my wife on Miro's work, so went along more out of loyalty - and how glad I am that I did. The foundation is dedicated to showing his works, and working life, and does so very effectively. To see so much of his work so sympathetically displayed had a profound effect: the arcitecture of the... More

The foundation occupies the site of studios used by Joan MIro when he was living and working in Majorca. There is a decent modern building below the studios in which there is an enjoyable exhibition of some of Miro's work, a cafe and a shop. The range of cafe food is limited but the quality of what we had was... More

I still don't know if Miro (and Picasso) were great artists or great con merchants. Either way elegant art and architecture with nice gardens too. The bus stop is Marivent and a short walk up the hill. Pensioners half price too! More

Worth the visit- take a taxi or bus. Once you are there, the grounds are lovely to walk around. My only criticism is that it could provide more information about Miro and his life. Although there was some info around, it was minimal and assumes you already know alot about Miro before visiting. Inspiring nonetheless, especially the studio and house. More

Joan (Juan/John) Miro purchased the building in 1959, that now houses the Miro Foundation & Museum. This was his second studio and eventually became his primary residence, where he lived until his death. The collection of statues and the architecture of the building is worth the trip in of itself. The building has an infinity (vanishing/ disappearing) edge fountain, that... More

My wife and I, both occasional painters, and two friends drove to the Foundation from the village of Pollenca. Our high expectations were met by the combination of interesting architecture and many well-displayed works of the master. The inevitable gift shop offered several useful books on Miro, other artists, and art technique, the usual teeshirts,prints, and postcards, plus several rather... More
