Contemporary Art Museum of Ibiza, Ibiza (must see)

The Contemporary Art Museum of Ibiza is paradoxically located in a charming 17th century building in the Ibiza Old Town. Ibiza has long had a reputation as being an enclave for artists and a great deal of modern art by local Balearic Islands artists and other well known contributors is on display in the Contemporary Art Museum of Ibiza.

Inside the edifice’s ancient walls, you will be greeted by a wide range of modern art created by some of the island’s best known artists from 1959 to the present day. Highlights are several pieces by Tàpies and Miralles done during the 1960s at the height of the island’s artistic renaissance. There are many engravings among the museum’s permanent collection, as well as a constant stream of world class temporary exhibitions.

The art museum’s garden is also well worthwhile visiting and makes the perfect place for a pit stop while out exploring other facets of the historical quarter of Ibiza.
