History

Miró wanted the foundation to encourage experimentation in contemporary art, taking inspiration from London’s Institute of Contemporary Arts. Most of the collection was donated directly by Miró. Sert donated the architectural project, while Barcelona provided the land and helped fund construction. Joaquim Gomis, a close friend of Miró, became the foundation’s first president.

  1. 1968Joan Miró and Joan Prats proposed the foundation.
  2. 1971The foundation established its first board of trustees.
  3. 1975Josep Lluís Sert completed the building, which opened to the public on 10 June.
  4. 1976The foundation was officially inaugurated on 18 June.
  5. 1986–1988An expansion added an auditorium and library in 1986. East and west galleries opened in 1988, allowing temporary exhibitions without removing the permanent collection.
