“Joan Miró painted many murals in his lifetime, but he designed only one made of glass and marble, for Wichita State University’s Edwin A. Ulrich Museum of Art. Personnages Oiseaux, or ‘Bird People,’ … adorned the building’s southern-facing wall from 1978 until 2011, when the museum removed it for an extensive, $2.2 million restoration project to repair the deteriorating mosaic. Last month – nearly exactly 38 years from its unveiling – the mural of colorful characters finally returned to its wall.”
