Josep Llu's Sert was the architect responsible for one of the best museums in the world. The originality in his design allows light to wash through the open galleries due to carefully placed roof arches and show the simplicity and elegance of his use in tile floors and white walls. A new addition was added on later and followed the same design.
If you enjoy art you'll enjoy the collection of Miro's graphic art, over 500 drawings, notebooks, 225 paintings and 150 sculptures. As you wander through, there are parts of the building designated to the permanent collection, a sculpture gallery which displays the Mercury Fountain by Alexander Calder, and a gallery displaying Miro sculptures. Many famous paintings and sculptures can be seen here.
Miro created the foundation before his death and dedicated this building built by his friend as the best place in the world to view works of art. In the basement The Espai 13, features the work of young artists. The Foundation is also responsible for other venues such as contemporary music displays and houses a research library. |
