Description
The Fundació Joan Miró nestles in park-like scenery on the north side of Montjuïc. It was here that the architects Josep Lluís Sert and Jaume Freixa erected a purpose-built home for the foundation established in 1971 by Joan Miró. The building, which was officially opened in 1988, is constructed in white concrete and comprises rigidly cubic elements, which on the inside are lit up by semi-circular skylights. There are two inner courtyards.

On the left of the entrance level, behind the ticket office, are the rooms reserved for short-term exhibitions of contemporary art, whilst the permanent exhibition occupies the right-hand part of the ground floor and the whole of the upper story. The museum's exhibits comprise about 5,000 items.

In the upper part of the building is a library; a cafeteria and also a kiosk selling books and prints are located on the ground floor.
