The anniversary will kick off on 11 June with the opening of a major retrospective on the Fundació entitled Poetry Has Just Begun: 50 Years of the Miró, which asserts both the past and the ongoing relevance of this cultural institution.

In the spirit of commemorating the atmosphere experienced by the Fundació on its inauguration day and extending this to the general public, the anniversary is organising The Party Has Just Begun, an open day that features a festive programme for all audiences.

In the autumn, the Fundació Joan Miró will stage the exhibition Miró and the United States, an intergenerational dialogue between Joan Miró and American artists such as Louise Bourgeois, Helen Frankenthaler, Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko. The exhibition will explore his relationship with this country, which was pivotal for his international recognition and artistic evolution.

To mark its 50th anniversary, the Fundació Joan Miró is reopening its Cypress Garden and presenting a new ordering of its collection that uses the artist’s work processes to offer a renewed experience that remains faithful to Miró and Sert’s original project.
