Museu Puget

In Dalt Vila, Ibiza’s old town, Museu Puget displays 130 paintings, watercolours and drawings by Ibizan artists Narcís Puget Viñas and his son, Narcís Puget Riquer. Their work records everyday island life in the 19th and 20th centuries, before mass tourism reshaped Ibiza. The collection is housed in a renovated historic home, where windows and a terrace look across the town and out towards the coast and Formentera. Admission is free, making this a compact cultural stop alongside a walk through Dalt Vila.

The Puget family’s view of Ibiza

Museu Puget is devoted to Narcís Puget Viñas and his son, Narcís Puget Riquer, both born in Ibiza. Their paintings, watercolours and drawings capture everyday life on the island across the 19th and 20th centuries. The collection gives visitors a view of Ibiza from before mass tourism, through the work of artists who knew the place as home.

The museum holds 130 works. Landscapes are among the subjects recorded by the father and son, alongside scenes that convey the rhythms of island life. Look closely at the different works to see how each artist interpreted the same surroundings and changing times.

A collection inside a former home

The museum occupies a renovated residential building in Dalt Vila, the oldest part of Ibiza City. Its domestic setting gives the collection a more intimate scale than a large gallery: the works are displayed in a historic home rather than a purpose-built museum. Take time to notice the building as well as the art.

The windows and terrace provide views over Ibiza and towards the coast. On a clear day, the outlook can include Playa d’en Bossa, Marina Botafoch and Formentera. These views also connect the island depicted in the collection with the city around you now.
