Museum of Spanish Contemporary Art (Colleccio March)
Art gallery featuring 20th-century Spanish artists
The Museu Fundación Juan March houses a small collection of 20th century Spanish art shich belonged to the Mallorcan banker Joan March, once one of the world's richest men.
It is housed in a 17th-century mansion that was originally built as a residence, but was redesigned in the early 20th century and turned in to a museum in 1990.
There are just 70 pieces, each by a different artist, including Picasso, Dali and Miró. Thus, the collection displays examples of contemporary mid-twentieth century art with works by some of Spain's most recent emerging artists. A total of fifty-two artists are represented.
In 2009, the collection was joined by a permanent new gallery devoted to the graphic work of Pablo Picasso. The museum also has special exhibition galleries that feature the work of artists represented in the collection as well as exhibitions dedicated to contemporary artists and major modernist trends.
