Barcelona, ​​don't miss Miró's modern art and visit Montehuichi Park

There are so many art masters in Barcelona that everyone may focus on Gaudi's architecture and the Picasso Museum. In fact, if you visit the Picasso Museum, don't miss the Miró Foundation located in Montjuic, a suburb of Barcelona. These attractions don't have as many tourists as the classic Gaudi buildings, and the tickets are much cheaper, so it's more fun to visit. Although most of Picasso and Miró's artistic careers were launched in Paris, they both have a close relationship with Barcelona: Picasso is Spanish and lived and studied in Barcelona when he was a child, so he donated all his early paintings to the Picasso Museum in Barcelona. Miró is Catalan, and Barcelona is his hometown. It is a rare opportunity to visit two masters in one city. I was surprised when I arrived at the Picasso Museum. I was surprised that it was located in such a classical building, which was completely different from my impression of Picasso. In this Gothic palace building, there are more than 4,000 works by Picasso. Many of them look like the painter scribbled on the textbooks during class, handed in homework in class, and practiced a painting repeatedly. In the process of repetition, it continues to evolve, simplify, and enrich. In short, the works seen here are very different from the general large exhibitions. They feel closer to Picasso's artistic journey, very intimate and human. It's like seeing a little Picasso, with his wild imagination running wild in school, and slowly growing up little by little. Miró, who grew up in Barcelona, ​​has a closer connection with Barcelona. The Miró Foundation was founded by him personally. It is located on the suburban hill of Montjuic and overlooks the entire Barcelona city. Even the architectural space of the foundation is specially built for Miró. The dialogue between architecture and artworks is particularly moving here. Miró also made a lot of installation art for this city, which are now collected here. This is the most moving and least popular Miró art exhibition I have seen around the world. No one would not love Miró, I always think so, especially in such a space, where you can't help but smile when you look at the works. After this trip, we all fell in love with Miró again. Youth, separated by thirty years of time and space, seems to have a conversation without words. 📍Address: Picasso Museum: Carrer de Montcada, 15-23, Ciutat Vella, 08003 Barcelona,​​ Spain Miró Foundation: Parc de Montjuïc, s/n, Sants-Montjuïc, 08038 Barcelona,​​ Spain 🗓️Itinerary: To go to the Milan Foundation, you can take the Montjuic cable car up the mountain, or take the Montjuic monorail connected to the subway up the mountain, and then visit the attractions of Montjuic Park all the way down the mountain! Overlooking Barcelona, ​​there are so many photo spots! #巴塞隆纳景点
