Local before arrival
When the Miró Foundation opened its doors in 1975 on Mount Montjuïc, Barcelona was still in the middle of its cultural Sleeping Beauty slumber. The Josep Lluís Sert-designed exhibition hall whose proportions are based on Le Corbusier’s Modulor caused a tremendous stir. Together with its gardens and terraces, the Foundation houses Miró’s collection of 10,000 pieces from 70 years of work, donated by the artist himself. “Espai 13” is a forum for young contemporary artists.
