PAYSAGE MIRÓ EXHIBITION: A ONCE-IN-A-GENERATION EXHIBITION ACROSS PALMA
Open until February 2026, Paysage Miró is a landmark, multi-site exhibition which celebrates the visual universe of Joan Miró. Collaborating with major art institutions such as Llotja de Palma, Fundació Miró Mallorca, Es Baluard Museu, Casal Solleric and Museu Nacional Reina Sofía, visitors are offered the rare opportunity to marvel at the artist’s legacy across four exceptional locations in Palma.
Llotja de Palma – Here, the exhibition The Initial Force presents a set of bronze pieces that showcase Miró‘s experimentation with three-dimensional sculpture. Positioned within the Gothic setting of the Llotja, figures including Oiseau Lunaire, Oiseau solaire, Maternité or Conque embody the tension between the natural and the fantastic. Exhibition from 01.08.25 to 01.02.26 from 10:30 to 13:30 and from 16:00 to 21:00.
Fundació Miró Mallorca – The Magic Spark explores the creative world of Joan Miró through six themes – nature, vocabulary, cultures, arts, friends and places – of which documentary material, personal treasures and plastic works illuminate Miró‘s talent. Also exhibited are several works by Picasso, Calder, Klee, Giacometti and Braque, all of which hold special relevance, not only as references, but as Miró‘s creative interlocutors. Exhibition from 01.08.25 to 11.01.26. Tuesday to Saturday, 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Sunday, 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Monday, closed.
Es Baluard Museu d’Art Contemporani de Palma – Exploring the ways in which Miró transcended the limits of traditional painting, Painting Between Things is an exhibition which draws out the artist’s pursuit for a more mental, tactile and poetic painting. Exhibition from 02.08.25 to 09.11.25. Tuesday to Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Sunday, 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Monday, closed.
Casal Solleric – Through a careful selection of mixed-media pieces, The Colour and its Shadow, reveals how the Catalan artist conceptualised his own language, in which the sign, matter and emptiness acquire a deeply poetic meaning. Exhibiting outstanding works from the Reina Sofia Museum, both his sculptural production from the 1960s onwards, and paintings come together to illustrate Miró‘s fascination with popular art, the primitive, the ancestral and the symbolic. Exhibition from 02.08.25 to 09.11.25. Tuesday to Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Sunday 11:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Closed Monday.
