The Museu de Mallorca<\/em> exhibits works of the fine and decorative arts, that cover the period from the conquest of Mallorca, in the 13th century, until the first decades of the 20th<\/sup> century.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

“It is housed in a beautiful building in Palma\u2019s Old Town<\/strong>, just behind Parc de la Mar<\/em>“<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It was built by order of Miquel Lluis Ballester de Togores in 1635, when he was named Count of Aiamans. Built on two great gothic structures, some of the elements from these are still preserved, it showcases the island\u2019s surprisingly elegant baroque<\/strong> style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The permanent exhibition<\/strong> occupies the building\u2019s first and third stories and is organized following the styles that marked the history of occidental art, showing its development in Mallorca. Hence, we can enjoy from beautiful painted panels dating back to 1300, that used to sit in the Palacio de la Almudaina, to a gallery of modernist portraits, not forgetting the gothic altarpieces and 18th century sculptures and ceramics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
