The Mir&oacute; Foundation is one of the most popular destinations for school trips in Barcelona, and for good reason!\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Children are often struck by the contrast between Mir&oacute;&#8217;s serious appearance and dress &#8211; he always wore a tie &#8211; and his fun, colourful paintings and sculptures. Mir&oacute; offers us a view into a childlike imaginary world which appeals to young and old alike.<\/li>\n<li>The rest of the tour offers a healthy dose of fresh air, far from the hustle and bustle of the city! Discover Mediterranean plants, see Barcelona from above, and take the time to simply play in some of Montju&iuml;c&#8217;s many parks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The private tour<\/h2>\n<p>\nThe tour starts at the Mir&oacute; Foundation, where the guide will take you on a journey into the artist&#8217;s world, with simple and accessible explanations. The focus is on some of Mir&oacute;&#8217;s favourite themes: the countryside, nature, the Mediterranean and simplicity.<\/p>\n<p>Next stop is the Parc Joan Brossa, a ten-minute walk away, to discover this original and fun-loving poet, whose visual poems can be found scattered throughout the city.
