Five exhibitions to enjoy this summer in Seville
Seville is a multifaceted and multicultural city and this is expressed in everything that takes place in the capital of Seville. In the summer season, art is on display in the city, hosting first-rate exhibitions that are worth enjoying while they are still available.
Museums are ideal places to take shelter from the heat and find shade. Therefore, during the hottest hours of the day, a perfect way to get to know Seville is to visit these enclaves, which are also places where art and knowledge are generated and encountered.
This summer there are several exhibitions available in the city and it is possible to visit, among them:
