The Bartolomé March Foundation on Internet

The Fundación Bartolomé March is carrying out a complete reconstruction of their head office in the Palau March in Palma with a view to making it an important cultural centre. Until now the building housed the important library of Bartolomé March Servera, art patron and promoter of the foundation that bears his name, who died in 1998 and youngest son of the banker, Juan March Ordinas.

Once the project is finished, the building will have a museum that will hold temporary exhibitions and will show permanently the collection of sculptures that Bartolomé March had in the Torre Cega in Cala Rajada, together with the popular Neapolitan Nativity Scene of the XVIII century that traditionally could be visited at Christmas. It will also have an Auditorium where there will be a programme of concerts for chamber music and contemporary music. Meanwhile, the Library, open to the public since 1970 and with over 2,000 manuscripts and 60,000 books and other publications, will also extend its available space.

The project has a budget of over two million euros and it is due to be finished by next spring. Coinciding with this important refurbishment, the Bartolomé March Foundation has created its page on Internet (www.fundbmarch.es) where information is given on the new cultural services to be offered in the Palau March.
