FUNDACIÓN BARTOLOMÉ MARCH

Where present meets past

Nestled in the heart of Palma de Mallorca, this art institution is a place where contemporary art meets history. Housed in a stunning 17th-century palace, this museum—founded by Bartolomé March, a passionate art collector and philanthropist—offers an exquisite blend of avant-garde works and classical grandeur.

While the museum is renowned for its historical collections, its contemporary art section is great to see for modern art lovers. The contrast between the palace’s ornate architecture and bold contemporary pieces creates a dynamic interplay of eras and styles.

The Contemporary Collection

The museum’s contemporary art holdings include works from renowned 20th and 21st-century artists, showcasing sculpture, painting, and mixed-media installations. Notable highlights include thought-provoking pieces by Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, and Eduardo Chillida, whose sculptural works redefine space and form.

Sculpture Garden: Art in the Open Air

One of the museum’s standout features is its sculpture garden, an open-air gallery where monumental contemporary sculptures interact with the surrounding cityscape. Overlooking the bay of Palma, this space invites visitors to experience modern art in a refreshing, open setting.

Beyond exhibitions, the museum hosts conferences, workshops, and cultural events, fostering dialogue on contemporary artistic trends. Whether you're a seasoned collector or a casual visitor, the Museo Fundación Bartolomé March offers a unique journey through modern creativity in a historic setting.
