Museu i Fons Artístic de Porreres

Contemporary Creativity in a Historic Setting

A Cultural Gem in the Village Centre

Housed within the former hospital building in central Porreres, the Museu i Fons Artístic offers a fascinating contrast between historic architecture and modern creativity. Established in the early 1980s, the museum began as a modest initiative to make art accessible to everyone in the village. Today, it stands as one of the most significant contemporary art collections in rural Mallorca, drawing visitors with its variety, quality, and community-driven origins.

An Impressive and Diverse Collection

The museum’s permanent collection includes over 260 works of art, covering painting, sculpture, ceramics, drawing, and graphic art. Notably, it features pieces by world-renowned names such as Salvador Dalí and Joan Miró, alongside celebrated Mallorcan artists like Coll Bardolet and Dionís Bennàssar. Each room presents a different mood, from vibrant abstract canvases to finely detailed figurative works, ensuring there is always something to spark curiosity.

A Living Tradition of Artistic Support

The heart of the collection is rooted in the generosity of the artistic community. Since its inception, the museum has grown through annual donations from artists, galleries, and collectors—particularly during the village’s Sant Roc festival in August. This tradition has kept the space fresh and evolving, with new acquisitions regularly joining the display, and has cemented the museum as both a cultural hub and a symbol of community pride.

Visiting the Museu i Fons Artístic

Located within walking distance of Porreres’ main square, the museum is easy to reach and makes for a rewarding stop on any cultural itinerary. Its intimate scale allows visitors to explore at a relaxed pace, appreciating the interplay between the historic stone interiors and the vivid works on show. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply curious, this is a place where the island’s creative spirit truly comes alive.
