3 paints made my day: the virgin with the child and a blanket from Murillo, Jeremy and the child from the same painter, and the agonizing Christ from Zurbaran. The virgin and the child have the most intense eyes that I have ever seen on a paint. Jeremy seems carried by the joy. This levitating Christ makes you literally feel... More

Seville can count several of the greatest Spanish painters among its citizens, and so it is not surprising that this Museum houses so much of their work, but regrettable that so little of it is of really high quality. It is housed in a former Convent built around three open patios. Our previous visits were in summer or early autumn,... More

I liked the pictures by Zurbaran and Murillo: two artists whose work I didn't know. There was also a special exhibition of drawings and paintings by.... Garcia Romez??? A 20th cent Sevillan artist - delightful. I learned a lot about Sevillan artists. The museum is beautifully situated aroiund a green and spacious courtyard.

First, Entry is only free if you are an EU Passport holder, otherwise it is 1.5 Euro per adult. We went through the museum fairly quickly, it is full of 15th to 17th Century Religious Art and is of limited interest to me I would have to say. However, this improved dramatically when we got to Room V - 'El... More

With so much to see outdoors in Seville, we didn't go into this museum until our third visit to the city. But I am glad that we finally did. The grand architecture perfectly houses the large works.

There is so much here of the highest quality. The museum is set in a former convent and the convent church is worth seeing for its own sake as well as for the art (especially the Murillos) in it.

The Garcia Ramos Exhibition was very entertaining because he was a very good artist, although he is not well known. The best painting in the exhibition is titled "Malvaloca", showing a beautiful Andalusian woman staring at the viewer. The woman is dressed in typical Andalusian costume. The exhibition was free.

Tucked away in one of the quieter streets this museum is worth a quick walk around (1hr),and its free to foreigners. A lot of religeous art as you might expect, but there are plenty of other fine works to enjoy. The builing has lovely courtyards and cloisters.
