Apart from the sun, the partys and the beach, there are many cultural options in Ibiza. Ibiza is a cradle for culture, nationality. The museums and galleries of Ibiza reflect this incredible artist and style variety. The island’s light and the free bohemian lifestyle have attracted many intellectuals, writers, painters, photographers, filmmakers and sculptors who have made of the island their dream refuge.

There are many museums in Ibiza that are worth visiting, most of them located in Ibiza (city), and specifically in Dalt Vila. Below we show the most important and outstanding:

7. Espacio Micus

Another very beautiful place to visit is Espacio Micus, on the road from Jesús to Cala Llonga. This is an incredible contemporary art gallery that only opens on Sundays (and on weekdays by appointment).
