It's an outstanding cultural landmark that beautifully combines contemporary art with history and architecture. Located within the restored Renaissance city walls, the museum offers not only impressive exhibitions but also breathtaking views of Palma’s harbor. The collection features a strong selection of modern and contemporary works, including pieces by both international and Balearic artists, which makes the visit diverse and engaging. The exhibition spaces are spacious, well-lit, and thoughtfully designed, allowing the artworks to be appreciated without distraction. The museum also hosts temporary exhibitions, educational programs, and a pleasant café area, making it a great place to spend several hours.

Thoughtfully curated and free gallery in the heart of the city - there is also a rooftop walking path with great views of Palma. Staff were helpful and accommodating.

Lovely grounds to walk on, and I’d recommend coming around sunset as it has a great vantage point. There’s quite a few Miro pieces inside and some other amazing artists such as Marina Abramović and Elisa Braem.

Although I am not really a fan of contemporary art, this museum stole my heart with its exhibitions. Everyone will find something to enjoy and truly admire within the pieces displayed. The descriptions of displays are catching and interesting as well. They make you want to see and explore the artworks even more, rather than make you feel bored. Great organization of the gallery adds to the experiance. A must visit in Palma de Mallorca.

We enjoyed our visit. The building itself is stunning — modern, spacious, and thoughtfully designed. It was pleasantly cool inside thanks to great air conditioning, which made it a comfortable escape from the summer heat. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout, and the rooftop terrace offers a truly spectacular view of the marina and Palma’s iconic cathedral — a perfect spot for a short break or photo opportunity. The current exhibition was interesting and well-curated. The entrance fee felt very reasonable. We’re glad we made the time to visit, and we would recommend it to anyone with an interest in modern art or architecture. Don’t miss it if you’re in Palma.

Le pongo 4 porque no se puede poder 4,5. Suele cambiar las obras y son muy interesantes. Su terraza y ver el atardecer y la catedral muy bello. El restaurante ahora está en reformas.La tienda pequeña lo que muy variada. Viernes a partir de las 18:00 h funciona con donaciones lo cual está espectacular!

Las obras que tienen expuestas son estupendas. Y el espacio también. Pero es muy pequeño!! En la web ponía que tenían más de 800 obras y las verdad…no sé dónde !!?? Los empleados del museo todos encantadores!!!

Visité Es Baluard Museo de Arte Contemporáneo durante mi estancia en Palma, con bastante curiosidad por su colección y el espacio en sí. El edificio es bonito, bien integrado en las antiguas murallas y con vistas muy agradables al mar y a la ciudad, lo cual suma mucho a la experiencia. Sin embargo, la exposición no me impresionó especialmente. Algunas obras me parecieron interesantes, pero en general no sentí una conexión fuerte ni algo que realmente me sorprendiera. Aun así, es un lugar tranquilo, bien cuidado y agradable para pasar una hora, especialmente si te gusta el arte contemporáneo. No es imprescindible, pero tampoco está mal si estás por la zona.

I highly recommend coming here at sunset. The best thing about the museum is the architectural solution that fits the concrete building into the ancient fortifications. It really stands out in the evening lighting.

On a rainy Sunday visiting this museum was the highlight of the day. Of course, there were also a lot of people (because of the weather), but the staff were very friendly and I can imagine this place being very peaceful on a normal day. The admission is less than you’d expect! We went as a group and everyone have found something they liked. I personally was the most interested in a little collection of Miro, a permanent exhibition about the museum’s collection with a curated number of art displayed and NACHLEBEN. EVERY IMAGE IS A POTENTIAL PAINTING. We didn’t find some of the curators texts to the exhibitions very well written but appreciated there was always an English translation. Because of the rain we were asked to leave our umbrellas at the entrance, which is understandable. But when we found out about an open area on the terrace we couldn’t go as to not get wet which was a pity, so we missed a very nice part of the museum. The architecture is great but we expected to see a bit more. Overall a very pleasant experience.

Museum in a bunker. Admission price is voluntary on Fridays. There is a small café on the terrace. The location is cozy. However, we had to wait an extremely long time for our drinks. So make sure you allow plenty of time. Palma was very crowded in October. Finding a parking space is a matter of luck.

Perfect for the right person. An art lover can spend a whole day here and get lost. So I left them here for the whole day. 🤣🤣

I’m not an expert in art just a curious how it changes and what direction it takes. In comparison to other Museums of contemporary art this place is modest.

Andrew Wilson

Lovely architecture, integrating contemporary modern with a medieval fort. The temper exhibition was great but the permanent exhibit was a bit disappointing. The large scale sculptures on the grounds, particularly one from Santiago Calatrava are well worth the visit without having to pay the small entry fee.

Nick Toms

Good for a nice stroll around the grounds to look at the sculptures and exhibits without having to pay. Worth climbing the steps to look at the views. Can't understand why no dogs are allowed though.

The museum is definitely worth visiting in my opinion. We bought the tickets at the entrance and didn't need to wait. However do I get the art and what the artist is trying to tell me? No, not at all. One part of the exhibition was unfortunately in repair/not avaible so that was a bit disappointing. The view from the musuem however was absolutely stunning. If you are around check it out in case of needing to waste some time.

This museum is built on three levels with ramps connecting the indoor exhibition spaces with the outdoor ones and the city walls. It is very large with lots of space in and out on each level. My favourite part of the whole museum is the terrace on the top level , the outdoor spaces gives a view of the city, port and the cathedral.

Lo mejor del museo son sus vistas desde la azotea. La verdad que el personal dejaba mucho que desear. No había mucho acompañamiento. Además de no ser gratuito para residentes… pagamos pero la verdad que no mereció mucho la pena. Recomiendo ir el viernes que es entrada libre a lo que estes dispuesto a pagar.

The architecture and restaurant/bar terrace are absolutely stunning, mixing contemporary modern with a medieval touch. Both exhibitions, permanent and temporary were quite disappointing and boring - one of them looking quite cheap and amateurish. There are only three very small floors but least the entry was affordable.

We went on a friday and you can pay whar you like on fridays this is to help people who cant afford it . There are lifts and dusable access. Plenty of toilets. Staff are friendly and very helpful. I was not impressed with some of the exibitions.but that is my taste

For us this museum was mostly a disappointment. There were only two exhibitions at the moment (about normopathy and about Walter Benjamin) and the main area was closed off in preparation for the new show. However they didn’t mention that so we found out only later. The normopathy exhibit was interesting and had a good story line and some good pieces. The Walter Benjamin one was very repetitive and uninspired. The air conditioning was too strong causing it to be chilly in the museum. The building and the surroundings are gorgeous and we would love to come back when they have new shows.

Le doy una estrella porque no puedo menos, la verdad. A parte de cobrarme 8 euros por ver tan poca cosa en el museo y encima tener 2 salas cerradas. Para mi sorpresa voy a la terraza a ver lo único que merecía la pena y me encuentro a una chica grabando videos durante un periodo largo de tiempo y luego descubro que es el personal de limpieza... debido a que iba vestida de calle y luego se puso su chaqueta de uniforme la cual ponía limpieza Es Baluard, teniendo los baños con el suelo lleno de agua, los grifos llenos de jabón y el ascensor lleno de suciedad... Tenía las expectativas altas de este museo, pero que decepción...

Es Baluard es, objetivamente, un museo flojo, desaprovechado y sin personalidad. Tiene más estética que contenido, más postureo que valor, y más cemento que alma. La ubicación es topísima: encima de la muralla, vistas al mar, arquitectura moderna. PERO las salas parecen almacenes vacíos, No hay narrativa, No hay hilo conductor, No hay “wow factor”. Es como entrar a un edificio precioso… para ver nada. Lo paradójico es que si le preguntas a cualquier mallorquín que se haga respetar como tal te dirá del Baluard: -“meh” -“una decepción” -“entra por las vistas y ya” -“el café es lo mejor del museo” (y ni eso) Incluso los turistas salen pensando: -“¿Dónde están las cosas?”. Es un museo en un lugar ultra privilegiado que no aporta absolutamente nada... un lástima que den cabida a obras insignificantes y pierda el valor cultural que refleja por dentro. Es como una casa cuya fachada parece La Meca, pero por dentro es una comuna hippie...
