A History Lovers Guide to Seville 
 
by Mark R. Whittington July 29, 2005

Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares

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.
