Many artists have settled in Mallorca because of its culture, light or charm, like Joan Miró, who fell in love with the island and whose wonderful legacy can be visited at the Fundación Pilar i Joan Miró de Palma, or Miquel Barceló, the Mallorcan world-famous artist.
In Palma, there are numerous exhibition centers, museums and galleries dedicated exclusively to contemporary art. In these halls, you can get to know the works of young as well as established artists from first hand. Palma offers a wide range of permanent and temporary exhibitions, activities and annual events to enjoy this interesting route of contemporary art.
For a thousand reasons Mallorca has been witness to a melting pot of civilizations that has only served to enrich it with its cultural and artistic contributions. Many artists have been inspired by this island, and some have even made it their place of residence, in particular during the 19th and 20th centuries. Joan Miró was one of them and he created a fabulous learning setting for Mallorcan artists, who include, amongst others, Miquel Barceló. No wonder, then, that the whole island has a good number of museums and galleries dedicated exclusively to contemporary art.
