The Fundació Joan Miró opened in 1975 as a result of the collaboration between visual artist Joan Miró and his friend, the architect Josep Lluís Sert. The building, designed by Sert himself, serves as the headquarters for this institution in Poble-sec. The structure bridges rationalism with the landscape of Montjuïc, housing Joan Miró's legacy within the exact space his close collaborator envisioned for his work.

Fundació Joan Miró
Sert & Miró: Art space in concrete and light.
On Avinguda de Miramar, in Poble-sec, the Fundació Joan Miró stands as a beacon of Mediterranean rationalism. Designed by Josep Lluís Sert, Miró's friend, this cultural hub opened in 1975, housing over 104,000 pieces by the artist, covering his entire career. The building, with its white concrete and pure forms, blends natural light with the Montjuïc landscape. Conceived as a living, non-monumental space, it fosters continuous dialogue between Miró's legacy and contemporary creation, solidifying its status as a distinctive cultural landmark in Barcelona.
