Paysages Miró: Collective immersion in the creative universe of Joan Miró from Palma
Four museum venues in Palma are hosting Paysage Miró, one of the major exhibitions of 2025.
Paysage Miró is the major exhibition dedicated to Joan Miró that will be the protagonist of the summer and autumn in Palma. From August 1 to January 11, the Pilar and Joan Miró Foundation Mallorca, Es Baluard Museum, Casal Solleric and La Llotja de Palma are giving rise to a collaborative exhibition project in which institutions such as the Reina Sofia Museum, MACBA and the Miró Foundation participate.
A total of 117 works by Joan Miró are exhibited on this megalithic journey between paintings, sculptures and works on paper, together with documentation, objects and pieces from his personal collection. A path between Mallorca and the figure of Joan Miró that created a close relationship, as the artist went there during the summers of his childhood, until he married a Mallorcan and lived in Palma until his death.
Joan Miró, Landscape of Mont-roig, 1916.
There is no chronological order in Paysage Miró, but the curators consider starting this journey with La guspira màgica at the Pilar and Joan Miró Foundation and continuing on to Es Baluard where the most radical Miró is shown. Paysage Miró is curated by Carmen Fernández (curator of sculpture and installations at the Reina Sofía Museum), Antònia Maria Perelló (director of the Fundació Miró Mallorca), David Barro (director of Es Baluard Museu) and Fernando Gómez de la Cuesta (director of Casal Solleric).
The Paysage Miró initiative offers a broad and transversal look at the work of Joan Miró, taking advantage of the city where he lived and worked for much of his life as a setting to explore the multiple dimensions of his artistic language. Through several cultural institutions that have come together in an unprecedented way, the project unfolds a true Miró landscape throughout the city.
Maternity, Joan Miró, MIRÓ SUCCESSION.
The exhibition brings together more than a hundred pieces —including paintings, sculptures, drawings, objects and documents— selected to trace a rich and polyphonic journey through his career. This proposal allows us to understand Miró's evolution from a renewed perspective, almost fifty years after the great retrospective held in Palma in 1978.
Each space offers a different perspective, but allows the characteristic archetype of Joan Miró's work to be shaped. At the Pilar and Joan Miró Foundation, the focus is The Magic Spark with intimate documentation of Miró's creative process - there are more than 250 documents on display -, to reach Es Baluard Museum and Painting among Things. An experience that transports the viewer between 1916 and 1978 with spectacular works such as Paysage de Mont-roig.
Casal Solleric is the space for El color i la seva ombra with a dialogue between painting and sculpture, with the fourth space for La Llotja de Palma and La força inicial where monumental bronze sculptures with dark patinas are located that represent his commitment to sculpture and ancestral symbolism.
This Paysage Miró takes over from Joan Miró's major exhibition in Palma in 1978 with Miró-85 where he exhibited 75 paintings selected from previous shows in Madrid and Barcelona. It is now a must-see to see an integrated vision of Joan Miró's creative landscape, connecting his relationship with Mallorca, as well as becoming a first-of-its-kind exhibition on the island with works that had never been seen in the city.
