Museu sa Bassa Blanca
About This Museum
Tucked away in the rolling hills above Alcúdia, the Museu sa Bassa Blanca feels more like a secret estate than a traditional museum. You don't just walk through galleries here; you wander from a stark, whitewashed underground bunker filled with provocative contemporary pieces out into the brilliant Mediterranean sun, where whimsical sculptures dot the landscape. The air is thick with the scent of hundreds of roses from their celebrated garden, and if you're lucky, you might spot a peacock strutting near the observatory. It’s an immersive experience that engages all your senses.
Collection Highlights
The core of the visit is the 'Nins' project, a powerful and haunting series of animal portraits by artist Evru that will stop you in your tracks. Outside, the sculpture park unfolds with surprising works at every turn, from a giant typewriter to figures seemingly growing from the earth.
Visitor Information
Given its sprawling, hilly nature, wear comfortable shoes. It's wise to check their website for opening hours before you go, as they can be seasonal. After exploring, their cafe provides a perfect spot to rest and reflect with a view.
Architecture & Building
The main building is a converted 16th-century farmhouse that blends rustic Mallorcan stone with dramatic modern interventions, most notably the minimalist subterranean exhibition space carved directly into the hill.
