Pabellón de la Navegación — Attraction in Seville

We went to the permanent exhibition only.

In the first room there are objects which are brought to life with audio and animated stories. They are nestled within an ocean of fibre optic cables which create waves of light. All written information is presented in both Spanish and English and so are the audio dialogues. The level of written information presented was about right. With some exhibits you have to do things like pull a rope or put a coin into a hat (you get it back) to make the story begin, and this interaction with the exhibition was quite fun.

Near the end of the exhibition there are interactive screens where you can zoom in on images of Sevilla and see more information about buildings and places as well as view some videos; we hadn't realised how to fully use this so a friendly member of staff showed us, but maybe it could use some written instructions alongside it. There are plenty of replicas of ships to appreciate. The exhibition would appeal to children as well as adults. Personally I loved the way a dramatised narrative was created around each of the objects exhibited.

It was really sad to see that we were the only people there during our visit, which lasted well over an hour and a half. Its location won't help as the area is off the beaten track (we had been for a general look around Expo 92 sites) and we were there in November so well out of season, but you can tell a lot of thought and creativity has gone into it and this exhibition certainly deserves to be included...

I was really impressed to learnt how beautiful this permanent exhibition is. There is a sea made of lights. You can watch lots of animated videos of great quality about stories from characters related to the sea and international expeditions - you can play them in Spanish or English. The ways to active them are awesome and super creative - I better don't do spoilers here! I went with my 6 yo nephew and he enjoyed so much. We weren't able to finish the whole exhibition because we were stopping at everything and we had to leave. There are interactive games and models to see. You can leave the premises and go back during the day to continue your visit.

We saw the 360% film about the solar system. The quality of the image wasn't great but I found it very enjoyable - you can see the pixels clearly at some points. My nephew got a bit bored but I think it might have been because we were there for more than an hour already. The film is introduced by a staff member and I would check beforehand if you can do it in English.

The staff is super friendly and they explained us lots of details, which make our visit even more enjoyable. I definitely recommend it either if you are a visitor with some extra time after seeing Sevilla's main points of interests or if you...

Es complicado valorar esta exposición, intentaré desglosarla teniendo en cuenta las altas expectativas que tenía sobre ella; Aparcamiento un 6. Justo al lado del pabellón puedes aparcar en una zona de tierra con gorrillas. Es lo más cercano. Ubicacion un 4. Las indicaciones de ubicación malísimas, un cartel con una flecha sin definir. (Para encontrar la entrada hay que bajar una rampa de escalones largos y cuando llegas al final miras a la izquierda y ves la entrada de casualidad y porque tiene el Titanic dibujado en la puerta. Organización un 5. En general se nota que el personal está poco preparado, se hacen un lío con simplemente el tema de los auriculares, que por cierto es primordial para ver la exposición en condiciones, opciones de AUDIO-GUIA que descargas en un QR que está en la entrada: Móvil con clavija Jack para auriculares, [te dejan unos auriculares con cable]. Móvil sin clavija, tienes que llevar tu mismo unos auriculares Bluetooth para oir el video (que por cierto está en you tube). Sin Móvil, [te dejan una especie de memoria pequeña con el audio grabado y los auriculares].

Esta última es la más interesante pero a nosotros no nos la ofrecieron y como el móvil no tenía para clavija y al no llevar auriculares tuvimos que ir viendo el video con el manos libre, INCOMODÍSIMO, ya que se mezcla con el de otras personas que les pasó lo mismo. Exposición un 6. Quitando la maqueta del buque el resto es cortito, algunos objetos originales, réplicas curiosas y poco más, pero sin escuchar la audio guía puede resultar aburrida. Maqueta un 10. Impresionante, te deja con la boca abierta y solo por ella merece la pena. Aforo un 6. Cuando se acumula un número determinado de personas puede resultar complicado seguir la audio-guia porque coincides con más gente en los objetos y tienes que pausar si quieres enterarte bien. Y esto no me extraña que pueda pasar, delante mía los que llegaron tenían la cita para el día siguiente pero sin más los dejaron entrar. Precio un 6. Cada cual que valore pero con 6-7€ sobraría. IMPORTANTE. #No la recomiendo para ir con niños pequeños# ... Se aburren ya que sin la audio-guia es aburrida. La duración depende de la afluencia, del método que utilices para oir la audio-guia y de ti. Si solo vas mirando los objetos de la exposición sin más, en 10-15min...
