The art is mainly religious so if you like religious art this will be right up your street. I was more impressed by the gallery itself with wonderfully decorated ceiling and walls. More

A rather strong collection of Spanish painting, but at nowhere near the quality of the museums in Madrid. I'd put this museum far behind the importance of visiting the Alcazar, the Giralda and Cathedral, and the Museum of the Americas. One word of warning, the Sevilla Pass, a multi-day pass that I recommend against purchasing, does not cover this museum... More

The building is an old convent with several lovely 'patios'. There are many great works of religious art as well as some other interesting works by leading artists like Velasquez and several Flemish painters. You are able to get up really 'close and personal' to the paintings -no barriers. You have to leave your bags in lockers at the entrance... More

When everywhere else was incredibly busy, this place was almost deserted. Charming paintings, worth the walk across town. More

Much to see in splendid surrounds. Oddly little Velasquez (he was born in Seville) but a shrine to Murrillo. More

EU citizens get in free - so take your passport. This is an interesting collection in a fine building. Outside on the pavement many local artists are selling their work. More

This is a very good art museum, particularly if you like Spanish Baroque paintings, most of which are of religious subjects. There was a couple arguing about the fact that the museum was not very good. This is not a collection built by imperial conquests or by intermarriages between various European courts. It is a museum of paintings done in... More
