Last Saturday, the mayor of
sa
Pobla, Jaume Font Barceló, opened the Museu de Sant Antoni i
el Dimoni dedicated to the traditional festivity of Sant Antoni that is
held every year in the town. The new museum is situated in the recently
restored railway station of Sa Pobla, and holds elements of the fiesta
for Sant Antoni, such as the demons and the giant heads, amongst others.
It also includes an exhibition of photographs, pictures, symbols and an
audiovisual that, together with explanatory texts, put the visitors into
the essence of this fiesta documented in Sa Pobla since the XIV century.
The director of the new place for exhibitions is Ramon Molina, responsible
also for Can Planes, a building in Sa Pobla that houses the Contemporary
Art Museum and the Toy Museum.
Entrance to the museum is free until the summer and visiting times are
from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., except Mondays and Sunday
afternoon, when the museum is closed.
