Museum of Contemporary Art of Ibiza, Old Town
Fantastic collection of art from the Balearic Islands in Ibiza's Old Town
A series of vaulted rooms, the museum houses a collection of paintings and engravings made by local and international artists since the 1960's to the present day.
Eivissa Contemporary Art Museum (MACE) was opened in 1969 and has become one of the oldest contemporary art museums in Spain. Now in two parts, the building has been sympathetically renovated to include the old building designed by Simon Poulet, making use of Old Town architecture, and the new building designed by Victor Beltran Roca, which optimises the space available without adding to the already busy urban landscape around.
Along with housing the permanent collection and temporary exhibitions, MACE also has an archaeological site preserved underground which allows visitors to see the structural changes throughout the various centuries, from Phoenician times in the 6th century to Roman times and more recently the Islamic period of the 10th-12th centuries.
