Galleries in Palma's old town: where the art scene is at home
Between the cathedral and the Born, international galleries hide behind inconspicuous façades – often in buildings that are themselves part of art history.
The short answer
Galleries in Palma's old town: where the art scene is at home
Palma's old town has the densest gallery scene on the island, from the international Galerie Kewenig in a Gothic oratory to smaller, specialised houses for geometric abstraction and printmaking. Visits are generally free of charge.
Kewenig: international art in a Gothic oratory
Galerie Kewenig shows international contemporary art in a 13th-century oratory – the architecture itself is part of the experience.
Gerhardt Braun Gallery: exhibition rooms in a Baroque palace
The Gerhardt Braun Gallery is housed in a restored 17th-century palace and combines historic fabric with contemporary art.
More addresses: Xavier Fiol, Pep Llabrés and 6A Taller
Galería Xavier Fiol and Pep Llabrés Art Contemporani, which has specialised in geometric abstraction since 2015, round out the scene, as does 6A Taller, a traditional print workshop since 1982.
