Palau March Sculpture Gallery, Palma de Mallorca

Modern & contemporary sculptures in a historical palace

featured in Sights & sites

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.

Visitor comments

  • "Beautiful building and views from the courtyard. Sculptures in the courtyard very interesting - Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth and some more modern artists. Salvador Dali paintings inside, but the stand-out thing for us was the Nativity display - never seen anything like it before - amazing detail and ingenuity. Relatively good value at 4.50 Euros each. Immaculate views, but no café - plenty of alternatives nearby though." - Trip Advisor
  • "It takes no time to whizz around this little gem of a place and it costs peanuts to get in - so there's no excuse to avoid it! Inside, you'll find some wonderful sculptures, an amazing selection of antique clad rooms, a Nativity scene like no other and a breathtaking view of the cathedral and port. A must see... Well worth 30 minutes of your time." - Trip Advisor
  • "It would be easy to overlook this building being surrounded as it is by more famous buildings. Built as a private residence, this building is the ultimate in fine craftsmanship. From the sculptures displayed in the outdoor terrace to the marble interior, there is much to appreciate." - Trip Advisor
