Was great to walk into es Baluard and discover what the strange stacked black boxes visible from the main harbour-side road were! More

I was taken aback by the wonderful building and by the quality of the modern art shown here from Mallorcan artists both new and established. The curators have kept the hanging in this amazing space minimal and high quality so that you can really appreciate the works. It is a great opportunity to see works by Picasso and Miró who... More

The museum has a lot of interresting art. I especially liked the exhibition with esther Ferrer. However, there are not much explanations for english speakers. The most descriptions are only in spanish and catalan. More

This is a MUST for anyone visiting Palma. It's a modern art gallery set in very old surroundings of the old city wall. You don't even need to go in the gallery to get the great views and the outside art. There's a cafe/restaurant that you can order a drink at and sit and relax and watch the world go... More

Reviews have to be at least 50 characters long but I couldn't think of that much to say about the place. There are better things to do in Mallorca More

Well worth a visit. Lovely Picasso collection and a variety of other things too. Interesting building to wander around, but not a great deal on display - so you are never going to be overloaded with art! More

A visit to this contemporary art museum/gallery is most rewarding, not only for the art but for the fine modern building which has been integrated into a section of old city fortifications. More

If you want to get away from other tourists and experience a great contemporary art Museum you simply must visit Es Baluard. The museum is located in an old fortress and that really gives the museum lots of character. The permanent collection surely could have been bigger since the space inside the museum is huge and you feel that they... More

As with many restaurants in Mallorca the ones with the best views always seem to have the worst food and terrible service. The food here is of a good standard but your paying for the view. Wake up and train your staff better or people just will not come back. I will try again in the hope that things change... More

We visit Es Baluard every time we stay in Majorca - and every time it fulfils our memories and expectations. The setting, within an old fortress, is striking, and the layout is inspiring. Airy and spacious inside, open to the sun and air on the roof/battlements, offeirng exceptional viws across Palma. The exhibitions are well presented and spacious, giving time... More
