Calder, a rebuilt work that was originally created for the 1937 Paris Fair and represented
Spain at the Spanish Republic's Pavilion.
The basement rooms 14 and 15, together labelled Homenatge a Joan Miró (Homage to
Joan Miró), are dedicated to photos of the artist, with a 15-minute video on his life and a
series of works from some of his contemporaries, like Henry Moore, Antoni Tàpies,
Eduardo Chillida, Yves Tanguy, Fernand Léger and others.
The museum library contains Miró's personal book collection.
The Garden
Outside on the eastern flank of the museum is the Jardí de les Escultures, a small garden
with various pieces of modern sculpture (it is also a wi-fi zone). The green areas surround-
ing the museum, together with the garden, are perfect for a picnic in the shade, after a hard
day's sightseeing.
