Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares

In Maria Luisa Park is the Popular Arts Museum (Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares de Sevilla). The building was built for the 1929 exhibition and is one of the most beautiful Mudejar buildings in Seville. In front of it is a beautiful pond surrounded with railings, amid a beautiful garden. Inside the museum there are collections of costumes used in the past by both men and women, starting from the 18th century. Of interest are the pants of the men. At that time they had no zippers. At the top of the pants, on both sides, are slits that buttoned up.
The museum has rooms completely furnished of the 19th century. One can see how people lived at that time. Much of the furniture design has not changed and one can find the same furniture in current Andalusian homes.
