Miró Gallery

Joan Miró (a man in case you were curious), is one of the defining modern artists of Barcelona and Catalonia.
The key place to see his work is the Fundació Joan Miró on Montjuïc hill. Miró himself helped create the museum in the 1970s as a living center for contemporary art, not just a static museum.
