Palau March Sculpture Gallery
Modern & contemporary sculptures in a historical palace
Just next to the cathedral is the impressive Palau March (Bartolome March Foundation) with a great collection of 20th century sculpture.
The gallery features famous artists such as Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, Max Bill, Pietro Consagra and Agustin Cardenas. Famous Spanish artists on display include Miguel Ortiz Berrocal, Francisco Otero Besteiro, Xavier Corberó and Eduardo Chillida. A variety of materials, textures, colours and shapes transform the space into a powerful and evocative garden art gallery. A highlight is a bronze sculpture by Auguste Rodin, 'Torse d'Homme qui tombe' (1882).
The building itself was built in 1939 by Madrid architect Luis Gutierrez Soto, with no expense spared. The historical discourse dominates in the building, heavily influenced by the Mallorcan and Italian Baroque Palaces. Hidden from view is the inner courtyard, a wonderfully Mediterranean affair, highly decorated and elegant.
