Mas Miró museum to open on April 20

De­spite set­backs, the Mas Miró pro­ject to turn artist Joan Miró’s coun­try res­i­dence into a mu­seum will soon be com­pleted. On April 20, co­in­cid­ing with the 125th an­niver­sary of the painter’s birth, the new mu­seum in Mont-roig del Camp, in Baix Camp, will open to the pub­lic.

The pro­ject stalled at the start of 2017 when the Joan Miró Foun­da­tion failed to get a state sub­sidy it ex­pected. Yet, a few days ago, a 200,000-euro sub­sidy for the pro­ject was fi­nally ap­proved.

An area vis­i­tors can see in the first phase of the mu­seum’s open­ing is Miró’s study, which he built in 1935, and which fea­tures two of his mu­rals. On April 20, the sum­mer house will be open, and the old store­room, which will act as a re­cep­tion.
