Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró a Mallorca
The Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró a Mallorca is a cultural centre based on the art studios that artist Joan Miró bequeathed to the public. It offers visitors an insight into his artwork and underlying creative process in the place where the artist lived and worked for almost 30 years.
In 1956 Joan Miró took up residence on the island of Mallorca, where he would be intensely productive until his death in 1983.
The core of the collection is the large body of work donated by the artist himself, created in his four workshops in Mallorca. Most of the pieces in the collection are paintings, drawings, and prints. It also has an important document collection, and several of Miró’s sculptures can be admired in the gardens. The Foundation building was designed by the Spanish architect Rafael Moneo.
The Fundació aims to offer an interdisciplinary public service with a view to promoting knowledge, social links and participation, both at a local and international level. It is a centre for contemporary artistic creation and for reflection on subjects associated with Joan Miró’s work.
