The Museum of Popular Arts and Customs was created in 1972 and is dedicated to Andalusian ethnological heritage. In its rooms, objects and utensils are displayed that document the customs and ways of living typical of the traditional culture of the area. It is installed in the Mudéjar Pavilion, designed by Aníbal González for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929.
The collections to highlight are ceramics, Andalusian craft activities and clothing. The generosity of citizens was important when forming the collections. We will highlight the Aguiar collection of traditional painting, the ceramics collection from the Gestoso collection and the Soria collection of oriental earthenware and ivories. The largest contribution comes from the private donation of Díaz Velázquez in 1979, with a large collection of embroidery and lace. On the other hand, the City Council contributed the collection of posters for the spring festivals of Seville.
In the lower room of the Museum there is the permanent exhibition dedicated to the collection that was donated by the Museum. Díaz Velázquez, made up of embroidery and lace and the reconstruction of the family home and which corresponds to the stereotypes of the Andalusian bourgeoisie of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
