Tickets & Prices
Several ticket options are available for the Joan Miró Museum.
🎟️ Fundació Joan Miró: Skip The Line Ticket
You can walk straight in without waiting. Great if you just want to explore the museum on your own. It’s full of Miró’s art and has a cool building with nice views. Super chill and quiet. You can use the ticket anytime on the day you book.
🎨 Fundació Joan Miró: Guided Tour
The guided tour lasts about an hour and gives you background on Miró and his work. Good if you want to understand more instead of just looking around. Tours are in English, French, or Spanish.
🏛️ Combo Ticket: Joan Miró + MNAC
This one gives you entry to two places: the Miró museum and the MNAC (that’s the big art museum on the hill). You skip the line at both. MNAC also has cool views and old paintings. If you’re planning to visit both, this ticket makes it easier and cheaper.
Due to the museum’s popularity, it’s recommended to book your tickets online in advance to secure your preferred time slot. The guided tour is particularly valuable if you’re interested in the deeper context and historical significance of Miró’s work.
