What to do and see in Seville, Andalucia: The Best Art Museums
Originally founded as a Roman city and now home to three UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Seville is bursting with antique charm. The Alcazar palace complex is a stunning collage of architectural styles, and the Cathedral will impress you with its beauty and its status as the burial site of Christopher Columbus. The Metropol Parasol is the world’s largest wooden structure, a massive mix of grids and swirls that contains a market and a terrace observatory.

A free to enter museum with a British passport (at the moment) we were able to wander at leisure through a magnificent exhibition of religious art by one of Sevilles greatest exponent from the 17th Century. The statues were exceedingly lifelike and the paintings were real works of art. Well worth the 2 hours we spent which seemed like half an hour
2. Painter Amalio Museum

4.5 based on 39 reviews
The museum houses most of Amalio’s work, as well as the collection that he donated, and that is the patrimony of the Foundation, called “The 365 views of the Giralda”. These pieces of art are composed of pictorial interpretations that try to capture the time, day, and season in which they were created. The collection is composed of paintings, drawings, engravings, morphisms, touch-paintings, and sculptures. When climbing the stairs to each of the floors of the building, the visitors manage to forget about the outside world thanks to the view of the tower, and they can get to know the atmosphere in which the painter made a large part of the collection. Painter Amalio´s Museum offer different activities like Seville on canvas. Guided tour along the places where the artist painted the Giralda, the tower of the cathedral, finishing in his home-studio, present site of his foundation or Seeing without watching, sensorial visit. Lastly, we offer guided tour by the painter’s home-studio.

Housed in one of the very fine surviving Mudejar pavilions from the 1929 Spanish-American Fair in Maria Luisa Park, this is more than the extensive collection of flamboyant flamenco frocks you might expect– though they are certainly there in abundance! There also are ceramics from Triana, handsome furniture, and ancient artisan equipment from blacksmiths’ gear to wine presses, all of which give a taste of life in 19th-century Andalucía. The highlight – along with the tiles – is the historic collection of fabulously colorful posters advertising the city’s famous April Fair, a fascinating gallop through changing trends in graphic design. Look for the striking Art Deco poster from 1930. Closed on Mondays

This museum wasn't on my radar; we discovered it whilst walking to the archeological museum. There are temporary exhibitions in the ground floor and basement; the first floor is still closed. I have found the exhibitions interesting and informative, especially those about Andalusian heritage and their standard ethnological exhibition including old and lost crafts. Not everything is explained in English but a lot of things are and you can understand easily what the items on display are even when there is no English guidance. Staff are lovely, friendly and welcoming. If you are interested in ethnography I recommend a visit. If you are from UK please note that from February 2020 we are not considered EU members any more so you will need to pay to enter. That is the case in other museums in Seville too. It is 1.5 euro per person and children are free.

When you walk past this place you think maybe it’s a small exhibit, run commercially and associated with one if the ceramic stores, or a least I did. In fact it’s an extensive exhibit, run by the city (& free if you show your Alcázar ticket). The centre has been created on the site of one of the major ceramic operations from the golden era and weaves around the kilns and other production structures from that time. The display is brought to life with excellent story boards in Spanish and English, numerous displays of different ceramic styles and video commentary by former workers from the site itself.Upstairs the story of Triana itself is told, equally fascinating. Not to be missed !
