The Museu Sa Bassa Blanca is an art museum near Alcúdia that brings together contemporary art, a sweeping sculpture park and beautifully kept gardens within a protected natural reserve.

Sculpture Park, Galleries and the Main House

At the heart of the museum lies a generous sculpture park, with outdoor artworks nestled among Mediterranean vegetation. It is complemented by indoor exhibitions of modern and contemporary art, as well as a remarkable collection of children's portraits that many visitors find particularly memorable. The former family home of founders Yannick Vu and Ben Jakober — an arabesque-Mediterranean estate designed by architect Hassan Fathy — can only be visited as part of a guided tour. The tour is widely regarded as personal and informative, and booking ahead is recommended.

Foundation and Collection

The museum grew out of the Fundación Yannick y Ben Jakober, which spent decades assembling artworks from across the globe. The collection spans international pieces from a wide range of cultures and periods. The Socrates Gallery is a highlight that visitors frequently single out, and forms part of the tour of the estate.

Location and Getting There

The museum sits on the Camino del Collbaix in Alcúdia, set within a protected nature reserve. The approach road is an unmade track — something of an adventure in itself — but the destination more than makes up for it. Free parking is available on site, with a short walk from the car park to the museum entrance. To make the most of the sculpture park and the house, it is worth setting aside at least three hours.

Café and Refreshments

There is a small café on the grounds serving light lunches as well as refreshments throughout the day.
