Museo del Santo Ángel — Attraction in Seville

A very helpful caretaker took the spot of a guide for this Scot visiting the museum! He gladly showed me around and we spoke in broken English and broken Spanish at length about much of the pieces, even pointing out some of the details of the items. While I am not religious, I find these artifacts completely fascinating and the level of detail of the works here blew me away. On the upper level of the two floor museum, there was a library with books generations old along with porcelain shells ranging from tiny to huge. A doorway led into an observation space for the church to which the museum is joined where a ceremony of some kind was taking place. The gallery on the lower level contains similarly aged artworks and furnature older than I can even comprehend. But by far, my newly found guide was extremely helpful in my religious encounter, eagerly telling me about each of the pieces. Well worth a visit!

If there was one improvement I might suggest, it is that the entrance is more easily identifiable. While a plaque lay at the doorway denoting the museum as such, this was out of eyeshot. The entrance was simply an open door with a stairway. A man, stood inside and in an dark enclave with a table with a number of magazines selling entry tickets (the fee was just a few euros). I thought that I might be in the wrong place for a moment, so I did have to ask the very helpful yet confused man (he spoke very little English) if I was in the right place. While I obviously don't expect that English is spoken by all people in Seville, it would have been handy to have some signage to at least point at so that we could fill in the gaps of the language barrier we both had! Once up the rather tight yet gloriously maintained stairs, it was not clear which of the floors were which parts of the museum and which were the gallery. Again signage is a little bit of a downfall here.

Gracias por una visita muy...

Visitato per caso, mi chiedo come mai abbia così poco spazio nelle guide ufficiali. È un museo delizioso, curato con passione; custodisce una collezione di ben 71 bambinelli con i loro corredini e vesti antiche spettacolari. E poi tele di Rubens, Mattia Preti, Luca Giordano insieme ad una notevole biblioteca. Il frate che ci ha accompagnato è stato prodigo di spiegazioni dettagliate e molto cordiale. L'ingresso costa 3€, consigliatissimo! È una autentica...
