Monastery of the Museo de Bellas Artes de Sevilla

The original museum opened in 1839 in this monastery building, which was renovated in 1662 in Mudéjar style. By expropriating the ecclesiastical possessions, this 'La Merced' monastic order was expelled from the building in 1835. At that time, the museum endeavoured to house obtained works of art from monasteries and temples. It was not until the beginning of the 20th century that the museum began to house private collections. It is only since 1970 that the Museo de Bellas Artes has had a permanent art collection.

The museum is located in the Plaza del Museo, a square with a bronze statue of Bartolomé Esteban Murillo; a very important Baroque Spanish painter.
