The exhibition showcases close to 180 pieces, about 80 of which are by Joan Miró himself, and represent a selection made from of 59 pieces recently donated by the Miró family to the Fundació.

The pieces included in the exhibit cover Miró's entire career, from 1910 (when the artist was 17 years old) to 1976. His preparatory drawings, previously unpublished documents and family photographs also included in the exhibition allow the viewer to follow the path from the point when Miró first put together a collection of his own, to the time when he sought to make his legacy accessible to all by creating the Fundació Joan Miró.

The exhibition invites us to imagine the connections between the pieces on display and the personal, cultural and historical moments in the twentieth century to which Joan Miró bore witness. It also highlights the key role played by Pilar Juncosa and Dolors Miró in the preservation and transmission of the artist's work, and pays tribute to the entire Miró family.
