Museo Es Baluard

Es Baluard, Palma's Contemporary and Modern Art Museum
This new museum is a completely new building enclosed within old Renaissance walls on the seafront promenade.

The walls of a small ancient fort known as El Baluard de Sant Pere, set in this lovely enclave in Palma, were a desolate and inhospitable place until very recently.

The Museum of Es Baluard's offer is complemented by a wide array of cultural and educational activities. The basic aim of the plan implemented by the museum's team is to disseminate and enhance the collection's potential, while acquainting the public with the museum. Accordingly, tours for groups and associations of all kinds are already available.

The new building, which carefully respects the walls enclosing it, consists of a total surface area of 5000 sq. metres and approximately 2500 sq. metres of exhibition spaces. Its architects, Luis and Jaime García- Ruiz, Vicente Tomás and Angel Sánchez- Cantalejo, have designed a white concrete building with clean lines, comprising three floors connected by ramps, skylights and rows of indoor balconies, which allow a play between spaces and heights.
