KRÉKOVIC MUSEUM

Museums | Palma de Mallorca

The painter Kristian Krekovic (Koprivna, Bosnia 1901 - Palma, 1985), after living in Peru for a few years, settled in Palma in 1960. At first, he rented the possession of Son Fusteret, where he opened to the public an exhibition of his paintings. The building in the Nuevo Levante neighborhood was built by what was then the National Housing Institute, between 1976 and 1978, according to a project by A. García-Ruiz Rosselló and A. Moreno Zaragoza. The museum was officially inaugurated in 1981. In 1987, two years after Kristian Krekovic's death, the Balearic Government accepted the donation of the artist's pictorial work. At the end of 1994 it was transferred to the Consell Insular de Mallorca. Since 2004, the Krekovic building also houses the General Archive of the Consell de Mallorca.
