The foundation

Fundació Mas Miró is a private non-profit-making organization created in 2013 with a view to promoting the importance of Mas Miró and paying tribute to the artist Joan Miró, reviving the property’s role as an inspirational setting and source of reflection and knowledge.

Fundació Mas Miró is the third point in a major Mironian triangle, also made up of the Fundació Joan Miró in Barcelona and Miró Mallorca Fundació in Palma.

Our mission

Fundació Mas Miró’s mission is to promote a greater awareness of the relationship between Joan Miró’s life and the artist’s work through a background context of crucial importance to the artist’s development: Mas Miró and the Mont-roig del Camp landscape in which it is set. Mas Miró aspires to become a reference point as a centre specializing in Joan Miró’s art and in the dissemination of local art and culture.

Our vision

Joan Miró once said: “All my work is conceived in Mont-roig”. Mont-roig and Mas Miró both offer a personal insight into the artist: Mont-roig as a source of inspiration and Mas Miró as part of his private world. By coming to understand a backdrop that was so influential in the artist’s life, a new perception of his work can be achieved.

Our values

Sustainability

“We must be one with the land, we must listen to the cry of the land.”– From statements made to Camilo José Cela, 1957

One distinctive feature of the artist that was highly influential in his work was his deep respect for the land and for nature. In all decisions that the Foundation takes, it always bears in mind any possible environmental repercussions.

Accessibility

Joan Miró always conceived Mas Miró as a place to welcome friends, neighbors, and family; from illustrious artists seeking to share a peaceful and inspiring environment, to neighboring farmers who gathered in the farmhouse chapel to practice their faith. Today, Mas Miró opens its doors to visitors to share a space that gives meaning to his entire body of work.” The Foundation aspires to make the centre and its programmed events available to as wide a public as possible–including children, adults, local residents, visitors, academics etc.–, tailoring its programme to meet each target group’s expectations and interests.

Proximity

“”I am happier wearing a sweater and drinking from a porrón among the farmers of Mont-roig than in Paris among duchesses in grand palaces wearing a tuxedo..” – Joan Miró to Francesc Trabal, 1928
There are many references from Miró regarding the importance he placed on his bond with the land and his roots. All the Foundation’s activities revolve around Mont-roig, given our awareness of the defining role that it plays in the project and in its development.

Rigor

We believe that any assertion must always be backed up by solid arguments. In all research, there is room for speculation, imagination and hypotheses. Nonetheless, in a project like this, a well-documented rigorous approach based on tangible proven data is absolutely essential.

“(…) what is important is not to complete a work, but to open the door to one day embarking on something.”

The Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees is the Foundation’s governing and administrative body. It represents and manages the Foundation, with all the necessary authority and powers to carry out its founder goals.

The Board of Trustees is made up of Joan Miró’s heirs, Mont-roig del Camp Town Council, the Foundation Joan Miró (Barcelona), Miró Mallorca Foundation (Palma) and State Secretariat for Tourism, in addition to local representatives.

The Project

Since its creation in 2013, Fundació Mas Miró has striven to lay the foundations of a centre able to live up to the high standards that are expected of it. Given the magnitude and importance of this initiative, a decision was taken to put the project into action in various stages.

“(…) the passage from The Farm to more recent work is a natural one. Like a seed that is sown, which the soil then swells before a tiny shoot can emerge that becomes a leaf, later a tree, then a flower and finally a fruit.”

From statements made by Joan Miró to Manuel del Arco, 1968

On April 20th 2018, coinciding with the 125th anniversary of the artist’s birth, Mas Miró will open its doors to the public, launching an initiative that will gradually be developed in stages.

The first phase has mainly been a structural one, in addition to the renovation of the exteriors and adaptation of the studio, farm, chapel, henhouse and farmyard (the latter as a reception area). On-site documentary, catalogue-related and research tasks have also been carried out.

Nonetheless, work is still pending to the building, together with new infrastructure that will be created as the project advances, in accordance with the sustainability and feasibility criteria on which all the Foundation’s activities are based.

Miró Triangle

The Miró Triangle comprises three sites – three emotional landscapes which help us gain a deeper understanding of the work and spirit of Joan Miró.

The three vertices of the triangle are: Barcelona, with the – Fundació Joan Miró – the landmark for viewing and researching the output of the artist’s entire career; Mont-roig, with the Fundació Mas Miró, which reveals his roots, his land, his inspiration – the point of departure and origin of his creative quest; and Mallorca, with the – Fundació Miró Mallorca – the studio he had always dreamed of and the art he produced over three decades on his island refuge.

Barcelona, Mont-roig, Mallorca. Inspiration, architecture and art. Three referents, three vertices of an essential triangle to understand the totality of the mironian work.

Collaboration and strategic alliances

One of the driving forces behind the project in which the Foundation is engaged are its collaborators. There are different ways of collaborating with the Foundation and taking part in a project that is also conceived to benefit the local area. By undertaking to collaborate with us, you can obtain certain benefits in terms of visibility and exclusive access, among others.

Institutional Support

If you would like to form part of the Fundació Mas Miró project, we invite you to get to know it. For further information about different ways of collaborating, contact [email protected]. We already have the support of:

The development of the actions carried out for the good maintenance and operation of the farmhouse are co-financed by the Secretary of State for Tourism, the founding patron of the Mas Miró Foundation.

The adaptation project of Mas Miró for its opening to the public has been co-financed by the PO-FEDER 2014-2020 grant from the Department of Culture of the Generalitat de Catalunya.

Since 2023, thanks to the grant for construction work and the acquisition and installation of equipment in Catalonia’s museums, Mas Miró has been able to install a fiber-optic network, a ramp to improve accessibility to the workshop, and upgrade its IT equipment.

Thanks to the support of the Generalitat (Government of Catalonia), the master plan and the use and maintenance plan for the complex, which has been declared a BCIN (Cultural Asset of National Interest), have also been drafted.

Restoration is an ongoing project at Mas Miró. Thanks to the support of the Departament de Cultura de la Generalitat de Catalunya, we have been able to make progress in preserving various objects in the collection. This includes the restoration of paper-based portraits and photographs found in the house, different pieces of furniture from the farmhouse, and several items from Joan Miró’s studio, such as the table and the cups with remnants of paint

The project of rehabilitation and architectural conservation of Mas Miró, as well as the adaptation of its interiors as a house-museum, have been carried out thanks to the grants for the execution of works of restoration of properties of notable cultural value from the Department of Culture of the Generalitat of Catalonia corresponding to the years 2016-2017 and the triennium 2018-2020.

During the years 2018 and 2019, the Provincial Council of Tarragona participated in the financing of the acquisition of the equipment that makes up the interior of the reception area, located in the old corral. Equally, thanks to their support, it has been possible to carry out a series of actions to improve the visit and welcome visitors such as the installation of outdoor furniture as well as an introductory audiovisual mapped on the vats of the farmhouse’s old cellar.

Throughout 2020, the partnership and support of the Diputació de Tarragona were essential in maintaining our tours and educational activities, as well as providing high-quality visitor services.”

In 2022, the program for the Centenary of “La Masia” was subsidized by the Provincial Council (Diputació), and in 2023, the drafting of the technical projects for the rehabilitation of the Mas Miró complex. Since 2024, they have been subsidizing the regular program of activities with a contribution of €50,000. In 2025, they funded the exhibition “Joan Miró / Josep Royo. Tapissos” with €4,112.12.

Thank you to Fundació Reddisrural schools, ZERs (Rural Education Zones), and high-complexity schools in the Baix Camp region can enjoy the educational activities at Mas Miró. An alliance that seeks to bring culture and history closer to the children and young people of our local area.

With the support of Fundació La Caixa Mas Miró offers its educational activities to high-complexity schools in the province of Tarragona. This social action project seeks to guarantee equal opportunities in schools, strengthening the Mas Miró Foundation’s mission to disseminate Miró’s life and work and his connection to the land and the landscape.

L’empresa Dlimit col·labora amb Mas Miró amb la instal·lació de les catenàries i pals separadors dintre de la casa i el taller. The effective and minimalist design of these elements has become an essential tool for the running of the farmhouse in order to guarantee the protection of the different spaces.

L’empresa Can Juncosa from Palma has collaborated with the Mas Miró Foundation on making reproductions of the curtains from Joan Miró’s workshop, based on the originals which are preserved but in a very delicate condition. They have also helped to improve the visitor experience by providing wooden rocking chairs like those formerly owned by the Miró family, where visitors can now relax and enjoy the surroundings of the Mas, just as the artist himself used to do in his time. Likewise, they have provided the blinds for the cellar and the welcome area.

Thanks to Signo Mas Miró has a high-quality photocall that presides over the multi-purpose room in the welcome area. In addition, the company Signo has provided the uniforms for the Mas Miró staff.

El Celler de l’Era col·labora activament amb la Fundació Mas Miró rememorant l’origen de la família paterna de Joan Miró a Cornudella de Montsant, on està ubicat el celler. En nombroses ocasions i celebracions el Mas Miró ofereix el seu excel·lent vi, Bri Blanc de Negre 2019 i Cisco 2019. The wines from Celler de l’Era also play a special role in the wine-tasting tour, where visitors can discover the link between Joan Miró’s work and the culture of wine. You can also find their wines in our shop

Mas Vicenç is part of the close link that the Mas Miró Foundation maintains with local producers, especially with the region’s wine sector. As part of the line of activities and research surrounding the link between Miró’s life and work and the wine culture, Mas Vicenç collaborates by contributing its innovative Vi del Vent to the visit with taste of Mas Miró. You can also find their wines in our shop

Can Majoral has created a new link between the Fundació Mas Miró and Mallorca. This family-run winery creates organically grown with traditional vineyards from Mallorca. In its collaboration with the Mas Miró Foundation, the winery offers their young white wine Butibalausí. Visitors can taste it during the wine-tasting tour and purchase it at the Mas Miró Shop.

Strategic alliances

Mas Miró cannot be understood in isolation. Only when it is seen within a certain context–in relation to the artist, its history, origins, connotations or architecture–can its true value be appreciated.
