The building itself was built in 1594. The institution of the provincial museum of Seville was created in September 1835.[1] Items were moved to the museum in the ensuing years.[2] The building it is housed in was originally home to the convent of the Order of the Merced Calzada de la Asunción, founded by St. Peter Nolasco during the reign of Ferdinand III. Extensive remodeling in the early 17th century was led by the architect Juan de Oviedo y de la Bandera.
