Okay, the place is gorgeous. The modern art is so out of place. Very odd experience.
An unique and fascinating space that presents history, religion, art and architecture all in one place. It is somewhat on the off beaten path but it’s a nice walk that is totally worth it.
I was surprised by how good this place is and only one euro eighty to enter. It's a bit of a walk to get there but it has a bar to grab a drink and a cool interior that is very tranquil and calming as you might expect. It makes for a surprisingly good art gallery as well, all included in the entrance fee.
Very lovely place , we had the chance to visit during our stay in Sevilha, the place is beautiful so as the arquitecture, we didn't liked the current exhibition,but to each their own, art is art
So this is now the andalucian museum of modern art, a little bit of a hike from Triana Bridge, not really worth getting the bus or taxi but if you have a bike then I would use that. The tickets are quite cheap however there did not appear to be much to see, just 7 or so pieces in the Eglise as far as we could tell. No idea if it was possible to get to the cloisters area (or any other areas) where there might have been more exhibits. Feeling that there could have been much more work on display and a wasted opportunity IMHO. Nice little cafe on site with helpful staff. Extensive grounds with nobody there!!
Severely disappointing. Billed as a contemporary art museum, it isn't. Some poorly curated works by unknown Spanish cartoon book artists, a film about paintings in Amazonia by a British Naturalist and other random elements do not constitute a contemporary art centre. The building is amazing - an old monastery, converted in the 19th century to a tile factory, with the two opposing but somehow complementary architectural vernaculars. The gardens could be amazing- actually, they're sadly very neglected. At least it was free!
The exquisitely simple beauty of this monastery is awe-inspiring. This simple beauty forms a timeless background for the fleeting quality of the contemporary art museum housed in the monastery. There is a small restaurant on the grounds. Entrance fee was €1,80 (in early April 2019). Parking on the street.
