The city of aesthetics, architecture, and paellas - Barcelona has a plethora of attractions to explore and admire. The Catalonian capital is famed for the cultural experience its state-of-the-art museums provide. An ode to the artist who embellished the Barcelonian culture with modern, surrealistic art, Joan Miro Museum, in itself, is no less than a masterpiece. The white architecture created by Josep Sert is home to Miro’s work bespoke with innovation and experimentation. Drawings, painting and sculptures, all of Miro’s great work can be found under this roof. Joan Miro Museum is curtsy the artist himself who donated a large chunk of his seminal work to the foundation. This showcase of contemporary art is phenomenal.
The timings of the museum depend on the month and day you are visiting the foundation. From November to March, the museum can be visited between 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM from Tuesday to Saturday, For the Sunday of these months, the Museum is open from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM. The months of April to October see the closing time extended to 8:00 PM and on Sunday it closes at 6:00 PM. The Museum is always closed on Mondays.
The Museum is a shining jewel of the cultural heritage of Barcelona and can be visited throughout the year but some months are more likely to give you a better experience. Visiting Fundacio Joan Miro during August is a good idea. The schools are off and you’ll meet no large student groups blocking your view. Spending a couple of hours inside the Museum would also give you some respite from the heat outside.
Exploring the white structure in the early hour is pure bliss. The temperature is low and it is the best time to enjoy some time at the terrace of the Museum. The morning also sees fewer crowds making the experience enjoyable and comfortable.
