Contemporary Art at the Museu Fundación Juan March in Palma de Mallorca

This contemporary gallery, located in the heart of Palma’s old town, is undoubtedly one of the city’s cultural highlights. Set within an imposing 18th-century building that has been extensively renovated and expanded, it showcases paintings by over 50 Spanish artists. Visitors can admire works by Salvador Dalí, Pablo Picasso, and others, which regularly draw large crowds.

Experience more Art in Palma – Es Baluard and Gallery Red

Palma is home to many other sophisticated galleries and museums. Es Baluard, opened in 2004, is among the best known. The Serra Art Foundation’s collection includes contemporary and modern works by Joan Miró, Picasso, Barceló, and other renowned artists.

Gallery Red offers a unique blend of culture and art acquisition in Mallorca. Gallery owner Drew Aaron has created a modern art haven at Plaça Frederic Chopin, 1 where visitors can purchase valued pieces by artists such as Andy Warhol, Santiago Picatoste, and Damien Hirst. Perhaps you’ll find the perfect piece to complement your new apartment in Palma.

Discover Chopin’s legacy in Valldemossa

Frédéric Chopin and his partner George Sand famously spent a winter at the Valldemossa Monastery in the heart of the town. Today, visitors can explore much of the preserved interior, including Chopin’s piano, along with manuscripts, scores, and photographs. The monastery also boasts a beautiful garden that extends behind the property.

Engel & Völkers Mallorca highly recommends the Frédéric Chopin & George Sand Museum in Valldemossa, especially for lovers of music and literature.

Centro Cultural Andratx – A European institution of Modern Art

The Centro Cultural Andratx (CCA), located in southwest Mallorca, is the island’s largest centre for contemporary art and enjoys a worldwide reputation. The minimalist cultural centre features two main galleries: the CCA Gallery, which showcases international works, and the CCA Espai, dedicated exclusively to Balearic artists.

The repertoire is regularly updated, making repeat visits equally rewarding. The CCA also offers artist studios open to visitors and a pleasant on-site café—an ideal destination if you own a rustic house or villa near Andratx.
