Palma de Mallorca

The Grand Hotel building, which opened on February 9, 1903, hosted the first luxury hotel in Mallorca. Of Modernist style and designed by Catalan architect Lluis Domenech i Montaner, a disciple of Gaudí. It is currently the headquarters of CaixaForum, which exhibits on a permanent basis works of the painter Hermen Anglada-Camarassa (1871-1959), one of the founders of the so-called School of Pollença.

It has two distinct areas devoted to the Catalan artist, one with large-scale works (Valencia and  El tango de la corona) and the other more recent with unpublished drawings and paintings that are part of the collection of the Fundación La Caixa, which are renewed every September to coincide with the Nit de l'Art (Art Night).

In 2013 has been incorporated Gitanas, el hechizo del baile  (Gypsy women, the spell of dance), the new thematic collection that brings together a selection of works from the permanent collection of Anglada-Camarasa at La Caixa Foundation related to this ambience. Catalogued as a Patrimony of Cultural Interest by the Ministry of Culture since 2003, it consists of 328 paintings and 194 objects.

The center is also engaged in assembling exhibitions and maintains an active program of family activities of an educational nature as well as interesting film cycles, music and lectures.
