Museums in Palma de Mallorca

The Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró is a museum and creative complex built around the studios where Joan Miró lived and worked from 1956 until his death in 1983. The foundation preserves his workshop exactly as he left it and exhibits a rotating selection from over 6,000 works.

Es Baluard Museu d'Art Modern i Contemporani occupies an ingeniously renovated section of Palma's 16th-century Renaissance fortifications, blending historic ramparts with luminous white galleries. The museum focuses on modern and contemporary art with a strong Balearic and Mediterranean accent.

CaixaForum Palma occupies the beautifully restored Grand Hotel, a landmark 1903 Art Nouveau building designed by Catalan architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner. It functions as a free cultural space with rotating art exhibitions, concerts, and educational programs.

The Palau March Museu is a private art collection displayed in the March family's palatial residence, directly facing the cathedral. The collection spans from medieval maps to 20th-century sculpture, with an emphasis on monumental outdoor works.

The Museu de Mallorca is the island's principal history and archaeology museum, housed in the 17th-century Can Aiamans palace in the heart of the old town. It recently reopened after a long renovation with a modern exhibition layout spanning prehistory to modern art.
