Birthplace of Miró’s art to open to public
The idyllic summer farmhouse is inaugurated in honor of the artist’s 125th birthday on April 20, showing where much of his art and artistic process came from
Learning about an artist by visiting a museum is miles away from visiting the rooms, surfaces, walls on which much of the art itself was created. And for the first time, the Mas Miró house, cradle of not only Joan Miró’s work but much of his artistic process, is being inaugurated on April 20 – just in time for the artist’s 125th birthday. Visits will begin on May 2 until November, costing 8 euros.
“The cathedral” of Miró’s work
Despite Miró’s work being ubiquitous throughout the city of Barcelona, many might not know how much he valued the outdoors and the Catalan countryside. He especially had ties with the family farmhouse Mas Miró, in the village Mont-roig del Camp, just inland of southern beachside Tarragona, where he lived in the summer.
