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.

    A delightful collection of Miro’s work
    This 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.

    Main exhibition closed until 20 October, but still 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.

    Amazing! Go see the show
    I came on the opening day of the Miro- Picasso show. I highly recommend going. 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!

    Very interesting artist and museum
    Beautiful views and the collection was remarkable. Didn't know very much about this artist but went because of the Miro- Picasso special exhibit. Was not too crowded on the Sunday and walking around the area after we left the museum was great too.
    Thank you very much for your visit and for sharing your comment with other travelers!

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.
