Just in the outskirt of Palma de Mallorca, in
an area called Marivent, you find the
museo
Pilar i Joan Miro. Situated on a hill you have splendid views over
the bay of Cala Mayor. The building itself is very interesting,
designed by the Rafael Moneo. The basic material is concrete, but
through the mixing with other materials, you get the impression
that it is actually sand stone. Light is coming through thin
plates of marble, another very smart technique. In the museo you
find many works from Joan Miro, and you can visit his studio,
where he worked while living on Mallorca. The foundation is
arranging workshops, there is educational programs and the
foundation also assist artists through grants. There is a web site
in English with all the details. Opening hours daily 10.00 to
18.00. Sunday and public holiday until 15.00 hours. Tel.:+34 971
701420. Bus 3 - 4 - 6 will take you to the area of Marivent. From
there it is a short walk. |
