Miró FOUNDATION PALMA MALLORCA
Designed by Rafael Moneo, the Miró Foundation houses offices and exhibits the work of Joan Miró in Palma on the Spanish island of Mallorca.
The artist’s studio is adjacent and worth a visit. The site has had a lot of dense development nearby, so the architects wanted to protect the views using an elevated entrance and a reflecting pool on the roof of the gallery below. The three story office, shop and meeting space wing connects to a star shaped gallery. Brise-solleil shade the facade and alabaster panels filter the light in the gallery.
Try one of the cafes nearby for something to eat and enjoy learning more about the artist.
