Fondacio' Joan Miro'
I started working my way through Barcelona's many art museums with a trip to the Miro foundation. The encyclopedic collection gave me a new appreciation for Miro's importance on the canon of twentieth century art.
The building had a familiar air to it – it was designed by Josep Lluis Sert, onetime dean of the GSD and architect of several familiar Cambridge buildings (Peabody Terrace, Smith Campus Center). Sert and Miro were lifelong friends.
The museum is sited on Montjuic, with a panoramic view of the city and adjacent to a beautiful municipal sculpture garden.
