Description

The Museu de la Paraula – Casa Rafel Ginard is a museum in Sant Joan dedicated to the Mallorcan writer and folklorist Rafel Ginard.

The House and Its History

The museum is housed in the birthplace of Father Rafel Ginard, where he spent his childhood. The building has been faithfully restored, preserving its original character and the distinctive style of a traditional Mallorcan country house. The rooms give a genuine sense of rural life in the early 20th century.

Exhibition & Collection

The museum explores the life and work of Rafel Ginard alongside the theme of orality — the tradition of oral storytelling on Mallorca. The collection includes photographs from the early 20th century, proverbs, and well-preserved living spaces. Thematically, the house is centred on the concept of orality, as reflected in the Fundació Mallorca Literaria's own presentation of the site.

Affiliation & Governance

Casa Rafel Ginard forms part of the Fundació Casa Museu Llorenç Villalonga, Pare Ginard i Blai Bonet, which is supported by the Consell de Mallorca. Within the Mallorca Literària network, the house stands as an independent site with a focus on oral cultural tradition.
