This evening, the Fundació Joan Miró Board of Trustees unanimously approved the appointment of Maribel López Zambrana as the institution’s new director after assessing 29 applications submitted for an international public competition that was announced on 15 June 2026. She will take up her position in October 2026, at which time she will assume the centre’s artistic and executive direction.
In its deliberations, the Board of Trustees highlighted the strength of her career as well as her ability to lead and strengthen highly complex artistic projects by integrating curatorship, institutional management and the development of national and international networks.
The Board of Trustees arrived at its final decision based on the advice and assessment of a committee of national and international experts. The committee comprised renowned figures from the museum sector, such as Manuel Segade (Director of the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía), Joan Oller (Managing Director of the Palau de la Música Catalana), Cécile Godefroy (Blanchette Hooker Rockefeller Curator of Painting and Sculpture at MoMA), Rosa Maria Malet (as Miró expert).
