Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporáneo — Attraction in Seville

This is a genuinely interesting exhibition space and I'd highly recommend going if you are interested in contemporary art (or old buildings that have gone through multiple iterations!).

The exhibition space is extremely well laid out (with some strange quirks like exceptionally steep stairs to the occasional crypt) and the exhibitions that were on when we visited (mid Oct '25) were well worth the visit. Some of the curator's text commentaries did appear to have missed the artist's original intention, but if you judged galleries by this, most would struggle!

Once you have finished viewing the art there is a very pleasant tapas bar with music playing in a courtyard, which is more expensive than average for Seville, but delightful if you are visiting from out of town.

Overall deeply enjoyable - think more exhibition space than "lots of 20th century art" and if that appeals, you'll probably really...

Fabulous place. Its an old convent which is incorporated into the art installations and artworks. I recommend using a taxi to get there especially in hot weather as its a bit of a walk from the city centre. The attendants are very talkative with phones going off etc. One guy chased down the gallery after me because I sat on his empty chair. One of two chairs at large exhibition. It was bazaar considering he was so talkative with colleague at a 'contemplative art' installation where the Artist used the word Silencio repeatedly through the exhibition. For a moment I thought the chair was part of the exhibition because he and his colleague stood guard over the chair after I got up from it. Overall the visit was a beautiful experience. It could do with a cafe, some viewing seats and quite attendants who seem to understand the atmosphere of the place. Well...

Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporáneo is a spectacular space for a modern art museum. As a 12th century Carthusian monastery later turned into a 19th century tile factory, it is a space that witnessed the passage of time and you can see it and feel it in every corner. We were lucky to be there for Amie Siegel: Quicksand, a survey of her work that explores how time gets imprinted in material. Her film on the relationship between labour, nature and capital was playing in the church and had such an immersive quality that we sat there watching it for an hour till the museum officials threw us out because the museum was closing. With its resplendent gardens dotted with art pieces like Curro Gonzalez's Gate of Fame, it is a lovely refuge from the Seville afternoon sun. We felt like a couple of hours didn't do justice to the museum. We can't wait to go back to...
