History
History
Similarly to most art museums in Spain, its creation ensued after the 1835 desamortización. The museum was thus created in 1844, and, directed by Diego Monroy Aguilera, it was installed in the former premises of the provincial deputation. Given some issues stemming from the inadequacy of the facilities, the museum was moved to the Hospital de la Caridad in 1862, although issues lingered as the museum shared the building with other institutions. A section of Modern Art was created in 1902. The management of the museum was transferred to the Junta of Andalusia in 1984 (the Spanish State remained as owner).
