About
The Fundació Joan Miró was created by Miró himself, at first principally with works from his own private collection, with a desire to set up an internationally recognised centre in Barcelona for Miró scholarship and contemporary art research, and to disseminate the collection. The Fundació opened to the public on 10 June 1975 and has since become a dynamic centre in which Joan Miró's work coexists with cutting-edge contemporary art. The Fundació is located in a building designed by Josep Lluís Sert, making it one of the few museums anywhere in the world in which the complicity between artist and architect underpins the dialogue between the works and the space that houses them. The Fundació offers an overview of the landscapes of Joan Miró's art and life, creating an enriching dialogue with other artists from the 20th and 21st centuries.

- IvanSusanin1613Cleveland, Ohio215 contributionsA delightful collection of Miro’s workThis is apparently the world‘s largest collection of Miro’s work. It covers several floors so you should a lot at least two hours if you’re a Miro fan like us. The explanatory plaques are in Catalan, Spanish, and English, so one can practice one’s Spanish and attempt to pick up some Catalan, at least passively. Miro might be a fine introduction to Surrealism for children, since his oeuvre is less potentially scary than that of Dalí. There is a nice café with a courtyard and a gift shop with books, tchotchkes, and posters. The museum is located atop Mont Juic, so there is good access to other museums and pleasant walks.Visited May 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 2 October 2023

Excellent idea to show the 2 friends together, to be able to see how they inspired each other. I could have spent more time here but had an afternoon flight so I had to rush a little. Also a lot less crowded than the Picasso museum.Thank you for choosing our museum and enjoying Miró's art!Written 6 November 2023This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited October 2023Travelled soloWritten 23 October 2023

Lovely staff. Some interesting exhibitions. The best part was the big balloons in the room exhibit. The thing that spoilt it was the porn exhibition (porn used in the name) that was next to somewhere children would go. It had videos of a naked man close up running with their penis and a young woman sharing her body then rash-covered vagina close up and a woman squeezing a fruit between her beast. It was hard to miss and I saw small boys and girls looking at it as they were too waiting for the room with the balls. There was no warning.
It's hard when we're teaching children to protect their bodies from potential abuse situations to then have adults doing the opposite, causing confusion. I think the human body is beautiful but this seemed distasteful and more there to elict a response. Happy to be wrong but it was disappointing.

We walked up from the wonderful Museum of Catalan Art. The Miro collection is tiny. They are working on a new exhibit, and only show a few rooms. The Miro workshop in Palma is much better. Even for the 5 Euro senior price this is not worth it.

Miro’s work is unique and somehow compelling, and the Foundation has plenty on offer to confirm that, set on the Montjuic hill to the south of Barcelona. There is the compulsory gift shop, bookshop and cafeteria as well to keep you occupied.
Just to note that the main exhibition area is closed until 20 October 2023. Prices are reduced as a result. It’s still worth the visit if you haven’t been before, and there’s a pleasant walk back down into town afterwards.

There is a public park in the surroundings.
Jeg ønsker at vide, om der stadig er et "springvand" med Hg (kviksølv). Jeg har 2½ kg helt rent Hg, så hvis der mangler lidt, kan jeg donere!!!

Thank you very much for your offer! You never Know!
Yes, the Mercury Fountain by Alexander Calder is still in the Joan Miró Foundation.
It was a gift from Calder to the Foundation because of his friendship with Joan Miró.
Bonjour, peut on acheter des billets sur place ?

Hola,
Nosotros llegamos a Barcelona y traemos un perrito pequeno en una mochila (backpack para perrito). Habra un lugar donde uno de nosotros puede quedar con el perro mientras el otro hace el tour del museo?

El museu està ubicat en un gran parc, de manera que hi ha molt espai fora per passejar o seure mentre que l'altre està visitant el museu. (translated from English response).

Take the 55 bus from Placa de Catalunya and it will let you off in front of the Museum... and take the bus home from a few feet away. You can take the Metro, but you have a walk up a substantial 'hill' to get to the museum..
If you want to explore the Poble Sec neighborhood (and there are some really good eats there) take the bus to the Museum, then walk down through the park when you're finished and you're in the heart of the neighborhood. Then you can take the Metro home.
