We spent about an hour here wandering around inside and out - an interesting visit is you are into modern/contemporary art and scuplture.

Went and saw Miro and Picasso (ceramics). It was a wonderful museum, so peaceful and hassle-free. We were able to spend loads of time at each exhibit, and get up close and even take photographs if you like. The outside space was lovely as well, with a cafe and quite a few exhibits outside.

This museum houses a small collection of Joan Miró and other contemporary artists. It is housed in the corner of what was once the city wall, a very old restored structure. A rooftop cafe serves a nice lunch with spectacular views of the waterfront.

I actually stumbled upon this Museum as I was walking to figure out the cathedral. Way before that, very near to a Square, I have no recollection what the name was, but there is a round park with an interesting model of a House turned upside down!Just around the corner, this well done pathway leads you to this Museum.

Another great place from which to view the city.....worth the entrance fee to see the building itself and the rooftop views. There is a limited range of art to explore but it's interesting. Put this on your list.

Very clever architectural solution, a new building integrated with Palmas old wall. The museum is very central located (in the beginning of Paseo Mallorca) but not to easy to find. It is a museum for Contemporary Art. When I was there one part of the museum was closed for hanging a new exhibition, so I got a reduced entrance fee... More

Es Baluard is housed in a gorgeous modern gallery. The local artists exhibit is interesting and has a few works that I enjoyed and they showed a good range of the local scenery. The Miro exhibit was, well, Miro, and it was not large. The Picasso ceramics are totally surpassed by the ones that are in the free gallery on... More

I loved the architecture, the location, the views, the work, the cafe, everything. Go at night when the main building is closed but you can wander round the outdoor sculptures for free. Go!!!

The gallery has been beautifully worked into the remains of one of the old bastions of the city. Inside the galleries offer a stunning selection of works. Outside there are several large pieces to admire, along with views from the fortress walls over the city. The way the gallery blends in, and stands out, from the fortress are a work... More
