The Yannick and Ben Jakober Foundation, active since 1994, is pleased to celebrate its 30th anniversary this year, marked by various events that began last Saturday, February 24th, with the celebration of the Day of the Balearic Islands, during which we had an influx of over 3,000 visitors. Attendees were able to visit, free of charge, the NINS portrait collection, the Sokrates room, the sculpture park, and the rose garden.
Additionally, during the event, families enjoyed "Smoke Signals," a colorful smoke flare spectacle inspired by the "Smoke Towers" project, for which artist Ben Jakober won the Special Pilar Juncosa and Sotheby's Prize in 1993, awarded by the Pilar i Joan Miró Foundation.
We would like to thank everyone who made this day possible. Special thanks to Ms. Àngela Amer Mir, Councilor for Culture and Festivals, and Ms. Margalida Ferriol Gual, Councilor for Cultural Heritage of the Alcúdia City Council, who enjoyed the show along with the rest of the attendees. We also extend our gratitude to the Jove Xaranga de la BMMA band and the Local Police for organizing, ordering, signaling, and directing the museum's entrance traffic.
This exotic space, saved from urbanization by the founders in 1979, nestled between the mountains and the sea, has become an iconic symbol of creativity and beauty. Visiting the MSBB is a unique experience where art, nature, architecture, and history come together in a magnificent setting.
