Can Planes Contemporary Art Museum

Contemporary Art in a Historic Manor

From 19th-Century Estate to Cultural Hub

In the heart of Sa Pobla, the Can Planes Contemporary Art Museum occupies a beautifully preserved late 19th-century manor house. Once the private residence of a wealthy local family, it now serves as one of the town’s main cultural centres, hosting art exhibitions, workshops, and events throughout the year. Its mix of traditional Mallorcan architecture and modern gallery spaces creates a striking backdrop for the works on display.

A Showcase of Local & International Talent

The museum’s permanent collection focuses on contemporary art from Mallorca and the Balearic Islands, while temporary exhibitions bring in acclaimed artists from across Spain and beyond. You might find everything from avant-garde sculpture and abstract painting to photography and mixed-media installations. The curatorial team often collaborates with artists to create site-specific works that interact with the building’s unique character.

Cultural Events & Community Spirit

Can Planes isn’t just about viewing art — it’s a meeting point for Sa Pobla’s creative community. The museum regularly hosts talks, workshops, and cultural festivals, drawing visitors and locals alike. Its airy courtyard and intimate interior spaces make it a welcoming spot to pause and explore, even if you only have a short time in town.

Visiting Can Planes

Located just off the main square, Can Planes is easy to combine with other attractions in Sa Pobla, such as the Parish Church of Sant Antoni Abat or the Museo de Sant Antoni i el Dimoni, which shares the building. Entry fees are modest, and opening times vary depending on exhibitions, so checking ahead is recommended.
