Fundació Miró Mallorca

The Fundació Miró Mallorca in Palma de Mallorca was founded in 1981 by the Catalan artist Joan Miró and his wife, Pilar Juncosa, to preserve his artistic legacy. Miró, who had a deep connection to the island, settled there permanently in 1956 and worked on painting, sculpture, and ceramics in his studios. Today's complex includes the museum designed by Rafael Moneo, the historic Studio Sert workshop, and the Finca Son Boter, where Miró set up a second studio. Here you can not only marvel at more than 2,500 works by the artist and his personal collection, but also tour the original workspaces. Studio Sert, designed by Josep Lluís Sert, reflects Miró's simultaneous way of working with its Le Corbusier-like exterior and its chaotically orderly interior. At Son Boter, you can see numerous graphic sketches and detailed drawings on the walls. The foundation sees itself as a dynamic center for research and education, aiming to inspire new generations of artists through courses in graphic techniques and an open library area with more than 12,000 documents on modern art.
