Miró-merized in Barcelona

My love for Joan Miró and his art had been the impetus for my trip to Barcelona. Miró’s enduring legacy is etched into the city, as he helped the city in extending a warm reception to visitors who arrived by air, sea, and land. Miró executed this vision by creating a ‘ceramic mural’ that adorn the frontage of Terminal 2 at the airport. Those entering the city via sea, can walk on ‘Miró’s mosaic’ in the heart of La Rambla — worth noting that countless visitors remain oblivious to the fact that they are treading upon a bonafide Miró masterpiece. The sculpture, “Woman and Bird” is strategically installed in Joan Miró Park to offer a warm welcome to those arriving in the city by car. <img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/1*cJ0aLT5q2HIzJQ5GV06zdQ.jpeg" style="height:249px; width:700px" /> Mosaico de Joan Miró, La Rambla ( Photo by the author) While I was fortunate enough to see the ‘Joan Miró: Painting and Anti-Painting 1927–1937’ exhibition at the MOMA in New York, nothing can be compared to the experience in <a href="https://www.fmirobcn.org/en/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Fundació Joan Miró</a> — a museum that Miro himself conceived and dedicated to his own oeuvre. The museum is a stunning edifice designed by Miro’s friend, Josep Lluís Sert, evocative of the Catalan artist’s visionary artistry. It also has a gorgeous central courtyard and a charming rooftop terrace showcasing Miro’s sculptural masterpieces. <a href="https://medium.com/@Manali_Mitra/mir%C3%B3-merized-5c7b3b2b1197">Visit Now</a>
