Museu Fundacio Pilar y Joan Miró
Museu Fundacio Pilar y Joan Miró (Carrer Joan de Saridakis 29, Cala Major Palma) – this museum has the permanent collection of famed artist Joan Miró (living his last years in Mallorca). The number of Miró paintings & sculptures here, however, are not as extensive as the Fundacio Miró in Barcelona. Nevertheless, one gets a more intimate glimpse of the artist’s life, given that his former studio is located next to the museum (built by his friend, the architect Josep Lluis Sert). In 1992, a new building by architect Rafael Moneo was added to act as the main seat of the foundation. All three buildings are surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation, with sculptures by Miró that blend skillfully into the natural setting.
