Fundació Miró Mallorca

The Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró in Mallorca (English: Pilar and Joan Miró Mallorca Foundation) is a museum in Palma de Mallorca, dedicated to the work of the artist Joan Miró. It comprises a main building exhibiting 6000 works donated by the artist, including paintings, sculptures, drawings, sketches, a library, a sculpture garden, and Miró's former studios Sert and Son Boter. The complex is located near Son Abrines, Miró's private residence since 1956, and includes his first workshop, Son Boter, adapted to a traditional house, and the second, larger workshop, built by the architect Josep Lluís Sert, a personal friend. Various sculptures and murals can be seen in the gardens. The studio Sert was used by the artist until his death in 1983. In 1959, Miró bought the nearby Finca Son Boter which he also used as an atelier; his graffiti on the walls can still be seen there. The foundation was created in 1981 by Joan Miró and his wife Pilar Juncosa. In 1992, the museum building, a work of Rafael Moneo, was added to house the administrative services and present the artist's works on a rotating basis. The foundation also organizes temporary exhibitions.
