Description
The Museo Palau March is an art museum in Palma, housed in a former city palace belonging to the March family, displaying a private collection of sculptures, paintings, and rare antique books.
The Collection: Sculptures, Dalí, and a Neapolitan Nativity
The heart of the collection is spread across several areas. On the terrace and in the courtyard stand sculptures by modern masters, including works by Rodin. Inside the palace, you'll find lithographs, paintings, and drawings by Salvador Dalí — a highlight that consistently draws visitors back. There is also a Neapolitan Christmas nativity scene that impresses with its sheer scale, intricate craftsmanship, and abundance of figures. The original, well-preserved interiors — complete with historic furniture and frescoes — round off the experience of a wonderfully living collection house.
The Palace and Its Views
The building served as the March family's city residence for decades and was designed by architect Luis Gutiérrez Soto. From the open terrace, you're treated to views over Palma Cathedral, the Almudaina Palace, and the harbour — a vista many visitors count among the most memorable moments of their visit. Throughout, the atmosphere of the house feels calm and unhurried, a genuine retreat from the bustle of the city.
Background: Fundación Bartolomé March Servera
The foundation was established in 1975 by Bartolomé March Servera, who grew up in Palma and was later educated in London. His parents, Juan March Ordinas and Leonor Servera Melis, nurtured his artistic sensibility from an early age. March went on to become a significant collector and accomplished bibliophile. The Palau March museum is open to the public and displays a selection of this remarkable private collection.
Location & Getting There
The museum is located at Carrer del Palau Reial 18 in the old town district of Centre in Palma, right next door to the Cathedral and the Almudaina Palace.
