The Museum of Arts and Popular Customs is one of the most visited museums in the city, not only for its different works and collections that it has inside but also for the construction of the building that, for many, is one of the most beautiful in Sevilla.
The place was built in 1929 by Aníbal González for the Ibero-American Exhbition and was used at that moment as the Industrial Art Pavillion. The place is famous for its bricks, tiles and big balconies.
Also the museum is separated in two parts and here the contents are well differentiated. On one side there´s the basement in which they try to recreate the traditional Spanish trades like the Spanish guitar maker, potter, hatter, baker, blacksmith or carver.
The lower floor is full of different furniture both of important and rich people as from people who had to go out to work to earn their money. Finally you can find different costumes and “mantillas” of the women of that period.
The Museum of Arts and Popular Customs is one of the most known and famous of the Spanish city. Get Seville accommodation and enjoy its galleries.
