History
History
The building was originally built in 1594 to house the convent of the Order of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mercy, founded by St. Peter Nolasco during the reign of Ferdinand III. The provincial museum of Seville was established on September 16, 1835 and items were moved to the museum in the ensuing years. Extensive remodeling in the early 17th century was led by the architect Juan de Oviedo y de la Bandera. In 1941, the Archeological Museum of Seville relocated to the Fine Arts Pavilion of the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929, in the Plaza de América within María Luisa Park, leaving only the Museum of Fine Arts remaining in the building.
