Museo de Bellas Artes de Sevilla

Murillo and Zurbarán in a former convent

Hours: Closed on Mondays
Tickets: Free for EU citizens with ID; small fee for others
Address: Plaza del Museo 9, in the former Merced convent

Walk the old convent cloister and the rooms fill with Murillo's Virgins and street children. Zurbarán's monks emerge from dark backgrounds in a single white robe. Valdés Leal's grim death scenes hang here too. The orange-tree courtyard and the painted stair ceiling are worth a look on their own. For Spanish Golden Age painting in one place, it ranks just behind the Prado.
