In a mudéjar pavilion close to the Museo Arqueológico is Seville's
museum of folklore artifacts. On its ground floor you see artifacts of
traditional occupations, including a forge, a baker's oven, a wine press, and a
tanner's shop. Also of interest on this floor is the stunning collection of
ceramics. Upstairs is devoted to such exhibitions as the court dress of the
19th century as well as 18th-century fabrics and embroideries from the
factories of Seville. One by
Murillo, Children Eating Grapes, is particularly evocative. Gold works
and a varied collection of paintings and musical instruments are also displayed
on this floor.
Visiting Seville
Seville’s
airport is serviced by a number of domestic and international flights. There is
a bus service that connects with many destinations in Andalusia,
the coast, and Portugal.
Train service connects the city with Madrid.
While most of the important sights are within easy walking distance of one
another, there is a bus service that covers the whole of the greater city area.
Bicycling is also a good way to see the city, though traffic is somewhat
difficult to navigate.
