Museu de Mallorca, Palma de Mallorca

Billed as Mallorca's most important museum, this undoubtedly contains some fascinating exhibits but the displays lack imaginaton and it is difficult to get excited about bits of stone in glass cases if you do not understand the captions. Talaiotic and Roman remains are followed by Moorish ceramics and Christian art, providing a quick overview of Mallorcan history. It's worth the entrance fee just to see the building, a 17th-century palace built on the foundations of one of Mallorca's earliest Arab houses. Opening hours are 10am to 2pm, and 4pm to 7pm.
