Es Baluard Museum

Why go

Es Baluard is a contemporary art museum in Palma whose site is published by the Fundació Es Baluard Museu d'Art Contemporani de Palma; this record is the museum. Its history page says it is located within the perimeter of the bastion of Sant Pere, part of the Renaissance walls that surrounded Palma until the early 20th century, that the Ajuntament de Palma ceded the land in 1997, and that the museum has developed in phases since 2004; the page says its main building was designed in 2003 by Lluís García-Ruiz, Jaume García-Ruiz, Vicente Tomás and Ángel Sánchez Cantalejo. The museum's visit page says a general ticket covers the building, the temporary exhibitions and the collection, the Aljub (a former cistern) and the upper terraces. The same page says large backpacks, suitcases and bulky items are not allowed inside, long umbrellas go to the free cloakroom, and visitors must not touch the works unless they are marked as interactive, or climb the outdoor sculptures. Opening times are set by the museum, so check its site before you go.
