Magnificent museum. Important works, if you are interested in painting you should not overlook it. The building is a marvel with its patios and its tile work. The best thing has been visiting it almost alone....a privilege. Very friendly staff, thank you.

This is a lovely art gallery. We did not realise how big it was until we were there in person. We spent two and a half hours there looking at superb artworks. The building itself is very attractive. Entrance is only 1.5 euros per person but does need to be in cash. The ladies on reception did not speak english but I was able to communicate in french! A lot of the art is religious but you cannot avoid marvelling at the skill involved.

I wasn't sure if I could include it in the three-day visit, but given several factors such as its free availability, its long hours, and the rain in Seville, which was anything but wonderful for us, we decided to spend our last afternoon there. We really like painting, and the truth is that the museum is wonderful, especially the non-sacral part, which is perhaps a bit excessive. But to taste the colors. The building is spectacular, the rooms are well organized, and everyone can choose between the permanent and temporary exhibition whatever they prefer. There were very interesting surprises, to be honest...We loved Zurbarán, of course, but it is not always necessary to see renowned works to equally enjoy art.

I visited the museum on a Friday and there was a small crowd. The collection focuses on Spanish Baroque painting. Due to the time period, the subject matter of the paintings is primarily religious in nature. I remember seeing one painting by El Greco but Murillo is well represented at the museum. A must visit for art lovers.

Not busy at all. None Europeans cost 1.50 euros each. So inexpensive. Lovely building and paintings. Peaceful. Inner gardens are so pretty we say for a while in the sun just enjoying the tranquility of the location.

In a magnificent build dating from the late 1500s that was the Convent of the Order of the Merced Calzada de la Asunción is contained centuries of fabulous art. Beginning with religious works from the 15th century onwards. Powerful pieces, anonymous and otherwise, depict Christ’s passion and Calvary. Lucas Cranach shows a depiction of the latter. A great selection by Murillo is here. Again mostly religiously themed, including Santa Catalina and the Immaculate Conception. A work by Velazquez shows the head of an Apostle. Moving forward by a couple of centuries, we saw fine portraits by the likes of Sanchez and Cordero. Esquivel is well represented with great paintings. Another whose works we hadn’t much seen is Ramos; lovely to see everyday scenes depicted. An engaging and rewarding couple of hours.

I only did the ground floor exhibits and the beautiful courtyard gardens. Take a moment to sit and enjoy it as it was meant to in the past. There is a collection of prints which I very much enjoyed as well as the Murillo paintings. Otherwise, Religious art dominated. Extremely reasonable entrance fee of just 1.5 euros for non Europeans.

Visited in June 2024 as a couple. Please be advised that for non-eu residents, that is UK residence included, entrance is 1.5 Euros. Eu passport holders may enter for free. However, I wasn't at all disappointed about this as the museum is very big and paying €1.5 is a bargain. There's plenty of paintings to see many of them original. The site itself is quite large and took us about 2 hours to walk around. Plenty of places to sit a nice gardens to relax in in the heat.

This gallery houses paintings by Murillo and Velasquez, as well as a beautiful Goya and several pleasant paintings by Spanish artists. I loved a last supper, by an anonymous Sevillian, as well as a wonderful Visitation. The additional nice surprise is that admission is free for EU citizens

This museum offers an extraordinary collection of works of art ranging from the Middle Ages to the 20th century, with a special emphasis on the Baroque period and Andalusian art. The museum is housed in a former 17th century convent, the Convento de la Merced Calzada, a building that alone is worth a visit for its architectural beauty. The central cloister, with its lush garden and elegant arches, creates an atmosphere of calm and contemplation that goes perfectly with the artistic experience. The exhibition rooms are spacious and bright, with high ceilings and architectural details that testify to the historical richness of the place. The museum is particularly renowned for its collection of works from the Siglo de Oro (the Spanish Golden Age), with masterpieces by artists such as Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, Francisco de Zurbarán, and Juan de Valdés Leal. The works of Murillo, one of Seville's most celebrated painters, are among the most admired, and the museum houses some of his most iconic creations. In addition to Baroque painting, the museum also boasts a wide range of Renaissance, Gothic and modern works, including sculptures, drawings and ceramics. Entry for EU visitors is free
