ONE OF THE BEST ART COLLECTIONS IN MALLORCA

The Museum of Pollença is located in the old cloister of the Dominicans and it was built between 1588 and 1616.

The name of Pollença is linked to the world of painting from the first years of the XXth century, when artists like Anglada Camarasa, Tito Citadini, arrived from Paris and its international renown attracted other artists like Mir, de Creeft...

The influence of these artists was materialized in the sixties with the creation of the Summer Exhibition of Painting, nowadays International Competition of Plastic Arts that, with 34 editions, has constituted the content of Pollença's Museum.

The Museum of Pollença was officially founded in 1975. In its halls were exhibited the works which won that Exhibition and a group of gothic altarpieces. With time the painting collection has increased and the contents have been enriched with works of archeologic character, a Buddhist mandala and Atilio Boveri's collection.
