34/50.- Barcelona, "Dona i Ocell" (Joan Miró)

Before we visit the Olympic stadium I wanted to show you this sculpture, a work of Joan Miró. Its name is "Dona i Ocell" ("Woman and Bird"). Yes, I know what you are thinking: It doesn't look like a woman with a bird.

Joan Miró was one of the most famous Catalan artists. There is a museum of his works not far from here, in Montjuïc Hill ("La Fundació Miró"). There you can find some of his paintings and sculptures. There are other interesting museums in Barcelona: the Picasso Museum, The Macba, the Tyssen Collection and the Dalí Museum which is in Figueres, 75 minutes away by highway.
