This is apparently the world‘s largest collection of Miro’s work. It covers several floors so you should a lot at least two hours if you’re a Miro fan like us. The explanatory plaques are in Catalan, Spanish, and English, so one can practice one’s Spanish and attempt to pick up some Catalan, at least passively. Miro might be a fine introduction to Surrealism for children, since his oeuvre is less potentially scary than that of Dalí. There is a nice café with a courtyard and a gift shop with books, tchotchkes, and posters. The museum is located atop Mont Juic, so there is good access to other museums and pleasant walks.

Miro’s work is unique and somehow compelling, and the Foundation has plenty on offer to confirm that, set on the Montjuic hill to the south of Barcelona. There is the compulsory gift shop, bookshop and cafeteria as well to keep you occupied. Just to note that the main exhibition area is closed until 20 October 2023. Prices are reduced as a result. It’s still worth the visit if you haven’t been before, and there’s a pleasant walk back down into town afterwards.

I came on the opening day of the Miro- Picasso show. I highly recommend going. Excellent idea to show the 2 friends together, to be able to see how they inspired each other. I could have spent more time here but had an afternoon flight so I had to rush a little. Also a lot less crowded than the Picasso museum.

Beautiful views and the collection was remarkable. Didn't know very much about this artist but went because of the Miro- Picasso special exhibit. Was not too crowded on the Sunday and walking around the area after we left the museum was great too.

The museum (Fundació de Joan Miró) is situated on the hill overlooking Barcelona and can be reached by taxi, bus, metro (with a walk) and the Montjuïc Furnicular Railway. There are all the usual facilities, toilets, lockers, café. The restaurant just off the self service café can be booked from 1.00, in a nice room overlooking the gardens, with table service and menu offering great Catalan food. For us, it made the visit complete. There’s a pleasant, shortish walk through a park to the other main museum in the area, the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya, although we split our visit over two days as there’s rather a lot to see in both. A must for art lovers and a great half day out.

I thought this was an excellent museum and, unlike a lot of tourist attractions in Barcelona, I thought it was good value for money, especially as concessions for students and seniors are provided. The collection of Joan Miro’s works is laid out across some 15 galleries of varying sizes and the exhibition provides very good information on his life, his different style periods and on each individual work. You can take cameras into the exhibition but you cannot take bags or food and drink and this is well signposted and explained when you buy the tickets at the desk and free lockers are provided for your stuff so it is not a problem, so feel free to ignore the one post knob head below. There are plenty of toilet facilities and the cafe was very good as well.

Miro’s work is exhibited beautifully in this fabulous building. My daughter and I learned so much and developed a real appreciation for the variety of his work. The view from the rooftop is spectacular. We loved the whole experience of this museum!

Beautiful exhibition, building and location. The temporary exhibition Tuan Andrew Nguyen - very creative and interesting. Also nice terrace restaurant post tour, and pleasant walk back towards town Highly recommended.
