EXPOSITION :MUSEE D'ART HYACINTHE RIGAUD

Bringing together nearly one hundred works - paintings, sculptures, ceramics, drawings, engravings and lithographs - the exhibition takes over the museum's temporary exhibition galleries, encompassing almost 400 square metres especially designed for the occasion. The exhibition offers an immersive journey into the world of Joan Miró, focusing on the formal evolution of his work following his move to Mallorca in 1956. This chapter marked a decisive shift in Miró's artistic development. In his Mallorcan studio, Miró continued to develop an ever-evolving artistic language, granting greater freedom to gesture, material and symbol. The exhibition offers a rare glimpse into the heart of Miró's creative process, where experimentation, disruption and renewal reveal an artist constantly reinventing his work.

PERMANENT EXHIBITION

Discovered in 1860 by an abbot named Giniès, excavations have been ongoing at the archaeological  site since the 20^th century. In 1915, local scholar Félix Mouret acquired and excavated the site of the necropolis, where many valuable objects were found. A major restoration was completed in 2022. Today, the state-owned museum offers visitors a permanent immersive tour on two floors built around four central themes: the Carrefour des civilisations (Crossroads of Civilizations) introduces the site in the context of its territory and the Mediterranean basin, with representations from the Celtic world and the Iberian, the ancient Greeks and Asian art, Etruscan and then Roman worlds. The Oppidum evokes the four major periods of evolution experienced by the fortified town from 550 BC to 100 AD. The Necropolis display is devoted to traditional funeral rites and the discovery of ancient tombs.  “Categorise to understand” highlights an extraordinary series of antique vases, the crown jewels of the collection. No visit to the museum would be complete without passing through the area reserved for fascinating temporary exhibitions.
