On the Grid : Joan Miró Foundation

"The monographic museum of Joan Miró, complete with paintings, textiles and sculpture created by the artist, is a must visit for lovers of contemporary and abstract art. The building, work of the rationalist architect Josep Lluis Sert, fuses art, architecture and landscape, and houses impressive content thanks to its relationship with the painter’s work and the discourse created along its passageways and halls. Within it, as well as getting to know Miró’s work, you’ll be able to understand his influences through his journeys and experiences. The building, white reinforced concrete with red ceramic details, is reminiscent of popular Catalan architecture in that it’s constructed around a central patio, which contrasts with the abstract shapes on the building’s front. Next to the museum, there is a small sculptured garden and viewpoint and, if you get the chance, we recommend you climb up to the terrace to take in the beautiful views." - ZeClé
