"Joan Miro 1893-1983 lived almost uninterruptedly in Mallorca during the last twenty-eight years of his long and fruitful creative life. In 1955 having achieved a more stable professional and economic situation the Miro couple decided to settle permanently in Mallorca. On the outskirts of the city in the term of Cala Mayor Miro built his home and commissioned his friend the architect L. Sert to design and construct his 'dream' artist's workshop and studio. These spaces increased from 1959 with the acquisition of other land and adjoining buildings - Son Boter configuring in its total extension and extraordinary architectural set what we currently call 'Territorio Miro' in Mallorca." - from introduction.
