Diocesan Museum

On the 3rd of October in 1972, this museum came to with the help of the Apostolic Administrator Bishop of Majorca. The museum had its start in 1775 by order King Felipe V with over 5,000 printed works, 35 of which were incunables. It was later moved in the 1950's to coincide with the present building that was built at the time. There is a vast collection of religious art and relics including a large reptile that was slayed by the Governor of Alcudia. It was said to be a dragon, but you can judge for yourself. Entrance is EU2.

Calle Mirador 5, Palma de Mallorca, Spain, 07001
Museu Fundación Juan March

Spanning some of the most artistic movements of the mid-20th century including such artists as Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, Juan Gris and Salvador Dalí, this museum is one of the most visited spots on the island. With a total of 52 artists represented, the museum hosts cultural activities, classes and lectures, concerts for children, and other activities. In 2003 an assembly hall was built for added exhibition space and meetings. Visitors are able to purchase many museum-inspired gifts at the museum shop located on-site and entrance is free.

Caixaforum Palma

Built at the beginning of the 20th century by the great Catalan architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner, the former Gran Hotel is the place where modern tourism in Palma began. The four-story building's sculpted facade is the best example of modernism on the island. Today the home of the Caixa Forum Palma, the building's interiors have been restored to house a contemporary art library, changing exhibitions, and a collection of works by local painter Anglada Camarasa. The very stylish café-restaurant, with picture windows for people watching, has a calm, cool atmosphere and is reason enough to visit.

Plaza de Weyler 3, Mallorca, Spain, 07001
La Casa Museu Dionís Bennàssar

The house where painter Dionís Bennàssar lived half his life and did most of his work is now a museum open to the public. Since the time the artist lived in the house, extensive restorations have been carried out which make it more accessible but do not take away the period charm which is central to the museum's character. In addition to the restoration, three annexes were added, which are now used in presentations and exhibitions promoting the appreciation of art. Conferences, courses, and concerts are all held in the house-museum.
