Museu Etnològic dels Calderers
About This Museum
It’s not every day you can sip wine in a room where the 18th-century lord of the manor once dined. The Museu Etnològic dels Calderers is a portal to rural Mallorca, a place where history hasn't been polished for tourists but feels genuinely lived-in. You wander through kitchens with soot-blackened hearths and bedrooms with creaking four-poster beds, the air thick with the scent of old wood and memories. Then you step outside into the sun, where the real magic happens—a taste of the estate's own wine and sobrassada that connects this preserved past to a deliciously tangible present.
Collection Highlights
The heart of the collection is the fully-equipped farmstead itself, complete with original olive presses and horse-drawn carriages. Don't miss the traditional 'sala' or living room, frozen in time with its elegant furniture and personal effects, or the chance to see native Balearic black pigs roaming the grounds.
Visitor Information
Come hungry. The included tasting of robust red wine and rich, spiced sobrassada made right on the property isn't just a sample—it's the perfect culmination of the visit.
Architecture & Building
A classic, sprawling 1700s Mallorcan manor house, all honey-colored stone and terracotta tiles, that feels less like a museum and more like a family home that's just stepped out for a moment.
