Founded on 30 January 2004, Es Baluard Museu d’Art Modern i Contemporani de Palma exhibits an important collection of contemporary art, from painting and sculpture to drawing, photography, video and installations. These works are of Balearic artists or made by those related somehow to the Balearic Islands. In addition of showing the pieces that form the museum's permanent collection, Es Baluard celebrates temporary exhibitions.
The Fundació Es Baluard administers the museum. The foundation is formed by Govern de les Illes Balears (the Balearic Government), the Consell de Mallorca (Mallorca Council), the Ajuntament de Palma (Palma Municipal Council) and the Fundació d’Art Serra.
The Museum area is 5.027 square meters, half of them for exhibition. It is located in a privileged place, the old bastion of Sant Pere (Baluard de Sant Pere), a 16th century stronghold on Palma's bay. The modern enlargement was created by the architects Jaime and Luís García Ruiz, Ángel Sánchez-Cantalejo and Vicente Tomás.
