The Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró is situated in the inner suburbs of Palma.  It is one of the few museums where visitors can see the artist’s creative surroundings and studios.  

 

In 1979, Joan Miró (1893 – 1983) and his wife, Pilar Juncosa, donated the Son Boter studios and another studio designed by J. L. Sert to the city of Palma. These buildings were the starting point for the creation of this foundation. Years later, in 1992, a new building by architect Rafael Moneo was added. All three buildings are surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation, with sculptures by Miró that blend skilfully into the natural setting.  The formula is very successful, we were bowled over by the surroundings and loved the gallery and the artist's work.
