Fundació Joan Miró, Art museum in Montjuïc, Spain
Description
Fundació Joan Miró is an art museum on Montjuïc hill in Barcelona, housing works by the Catalan painter and sculptor. The white concrete walls and open courtyards create a bright environment where paintings, sculptures, and graphic works are displayed.
History
The foundation was established in the mid-seventies to create a permanent home for the artist's collection. The building came from the collaboration between the painter and a fellow architect who had worked previously in the United States.
Culture
Many locals visit the foundation during late afternoon when sunlight floods through large windows and brings a new life to the galleries. The architecture itself invites a slow walk through the exhibitions, encouraging visitors to sense the connection between art and nature.
Practical
The entrance sits on a quiet hillside and is easily reached by bus or on foot from the city center. Most visitors spend two to three hours, with morning hours being more comfortable during summer.
Did you know?
A work by the American sculptor uses liquid mercury that flows under glass and moves slowly. This material is so rare in art that only a few places worldwide are allowed to display such an installation.
