A major cultural moment for Mallorca
This year Palma has hosted Paysage Miró, a remarkable city-wide exhibition celebrating the visual universe of Joan Miró. Four of the city’s key cultural spaces are participating, each exploring a different facet of his work, ideas and lifelong dialogue with the landscape of Mallorca.
Joan Miró (1893–1983) was one of the defining artists of the 20th century. Although born in Barcelona, Mallorca became his lifelong source of inspiration. His mother was Mallorcan, and in 1956 he settled permanently in Palma, building his studio overlooking the sea.
The island’s light, landscape and rhythms shaped his later work. Miró described Mallorca as “a truly fertile land” — a place where he could work freely, close to nature and memory. The Fundació Miró Mallorca still preserves his studio and more than 6,000 pieces, a reminder that his most imaginative years were created here.
The project includes more than six decades of painting, sculpture, personal objects and archival material, drawn from some of the most important collections in Spain. Rather than being contained in one gallery, the exhibition unfolds across the city, inviting visitors to wander, pause and experience Miró as part of Palma’s architectural and natural surroundings.
