About Fundació Joan Miró
Joan Miró conceived the foundation as a centre for the study of contemporary art. The architect and friend Josep Lluís Sert designed the building, which opened in 1975 — a textbook of Mediterranean modernism with white volumes and cylindrical light wells.
More than 14,000 works by Miró trace his career, displayed alongside a sculpture rooftop and rotating exhibitions of contemporary artists.
