| Museo de Bellas Artes (Fine Arts Museum). |
With its rich artistic heritage, it's not surprising that Seville has a number of art galleries. These range from the beautiful Museo de Bellas Artes (Fine Arts Museum), which has a fine collection of art by Spain's most celebrated painters, to smaller exhibition spaces with more contemporary shows. Other historic buildings housing notable works as well as frequent exhibitions include the Casa de los Venerables in Santa Cruz (frescoes by Valdés Leal) and the Hospital de la Caridad in Arenal (works by Murillo, Valdés Leal and Roldán).
The Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporáneo is housed in the magnificent 15th-century Monasterio Santa Maria de las Cuevas on the island of La Cartuja - Columbus stayed and worked here before his voyages. Its permanent collection is mostly by 20th century Andalucian artists, while temporary exhibitions offer contemporary paintings, photographs, installations and performance art from international artists.
