Step into the world of the celebrated Catalan artist Joan Miró at The Fundació Joan Miró. Immerse yourself in a captivating collection of Surrealist, Fauvist, and Expressionist masterpieces at this dedicated museum in Barcelona. Miró's unique vision, bold colors, and organic forms have left an indelible mark on the art world. His influence spans across various mediums including painting, sculpture, mural, and ceramics. Notably, Ernest Hemingway likened Miró's painting 'The Farm' to James Joyce's 'Ulysses', highlighting the profound impact of his work. Miró's approach to color as a means of expressing ideas is akin to shaping poems with words and music with notes. In 1968, Miró envisioned the creation of the foundation to establish a globally recognized center in Barcelona for emerging artists to engage with contemporary art. This vision endures today, with the Foundation's 'Espai 13' dedicated to the work of young experimental artists, alongside a vast collection of Miró's own works. The Fundacio Miró Museum houses nearly 15,000 pieces of art, including over 8,000 drawings, 217 paintings, 178 sculptures, as well as ceramics, textiles, and graphic works. The museum also hosts temporary exhibitions of 20th and 21st-century artists, academic activities, and collaborative projects with other institutions and organizations.
