The Museum of Mallorca is in Palma’s old town, at C/ de la Portella, 5, inside a 17th-century palace known as Casa de la Gran Cristiana. Its collection brings together Mallorcan art and archaeological objects, including religious paintings, sculpture and pottery. Look for the 18th- and 19th-century works and the permanent exhibition of Joan Miró’s art. The museum is compact enough to explore in about an hour to an hour and a half, with an upper-floor view of Palma Cathedral as an added reason to climb.
A palace in Palma’s old town
The museum occupies Casa de la Gran Cristiana, a building dating to 1634. It also incorporates parts of two earlier Gothic buildings. Its setting connects the collection to Palma’s older architecture without taking attention away from the objects on display.
The museum is on C/ de la Portella in Palma’s Centre district. It presents the art and archaeology of Mallorca across three floors.
Art and objects from Mallorca
The collection includes paintings, sculpture, pottery and smaller historical objects. Religious art is a substantial part of the displays, alongside works from later periods. The 18th- and 19th-century rooms and the permanent Joan Miró exhibition are useful priorities if you have limited time.
Leave time to reach the upper floor, where you can look out toward Palma Cathedral. The museum also has a coin-operated locker for bags and water; the coin is returned when you retrieve your belongings.
