Description
The Museu de Pollença is an art museum housed in a historic convent building in the heart of Pollença, displaying works spanning prehistory to the present day.
The Collection: From Prehistory to the Present
The museum's collection takes in prehistoric and archaeological finds, Gothic works, paintings, sculptures, prints and photography, as well as modern and contemporary art. A dedicated room houses a vibrantly coloured sand mandala created to mark the Dalai Lama's visit in 1990 — one of the most celebrated pieces in the museum. Temporary exhibitions complement the permanent collection throughout the year.
A Historic Setting
The museum is set within the former Dominican convent of Sant Domingo. The historic complex, with its cloister, is very much part of the experience: the museum and the adjoining church have separate entrances, and the church itself is also used for exhibitions.
Location & Getting There
The Museu de Pollença is located at Carrer Pere Josep Cànaves Salas s/n, 07460 Pollença, next to the Claustre de Sant Domingo, opposite the Jardí Joan March. A word of warning: Google Maps sometimes incorrectly places the museum at the Plaça Major — it is actually situated beside the Claustre de Sant Domingo.
Admission & Practicalities
Entry to the museum is free of charge; voluntary donations are warmly welcomed. The museum is fully accessible and features accessible toilet facilities.
