From the Artillery Factory to the CAAC: 20 Exhibitions to Discover This Summer in Seville

Head to the San Bernardo neighborhood to visit a historic industrial site that has been repurposed as a major center for contemporary creation: the Royal Artillery Factory of Seville. Within its walls, two exhibitions are on view, running through early fall:

• The Garden Is Boiling, Oh, Oh!: Seville-based artist Irene Infantes (curated by Blanca del Río) reflects on the rhythms of nature, botany, textiles, and matter in relation to the architecture of the space itself.
• “You’ll Fall Asleep and Dream of the Song of the Flowers” by artist Raquel Algaba explores the boundaries between dreams, the unconscious, and the fantastical. It does so through a dialogue in which sculpture, ceramics, and organic forms take over the space.

Admission to the exhibitions at the Royal Artillery Factory is free until capacity is reached. Regular visiting hours are Monday through Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., and Sundays and holidays from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

The Museum of Fine Arts is hosting an exhibition centered on works attributed to Pietro Novelli and new donations and additions to the museum’s collection; this exhibition explores the intellectual and aesthetic aspects of Baroque art.

Looking ahead to the coming months, the Andalusian Center for Contemporary Art in Seville is hosting several temporary exhibitions of interest. They are as follows:

• “Améfrica: Diasporic Connections in the Jorge M. Pérez Collection” is an exhibition that creates a dialogue among artists from different generations, geographies, and techniques, who together generate networks of interconnection by recreating the historical, visual, symbolic, and intellectual influences of the African continent on the Americas. Starting in February 2026.
• “Kupinduka,” by artist Virginia Chihota, features paintings, drawings on paper, and a textile installation that evoke personal experiences related to motherhood, loss, memory, and faith. March 19 through September 6, 2026.
• Eladio Aguilera. The Spirit of Forms: Inspired by Élie Faure’s famous work, this Sevillian artist transforms everyday objects and items into sculptural pieces imbued with poetry. Through September 6, 2026.
• Johanna Failer. How to Live in the Interstices: A thought-provoking installation that reflects on the occupation of space, the limits of architecture, and the habit of inhabiting the cracks of everyday life. Through September 6, 2026.
• Manuela Solano. Alien Queen / Strange Paradise: An unsettling pictorial journey that explores the notions of otherness, belonging, and the construction of personal space. Through November 8, 2026.
• The Latest Painting: A group exhibition curated by Curro González and Alberto Figueroa that brings together the work of some thirty essential artists to take the pulse of the contemporary Andalusian painting scene. Through February 28, 2027.

In addition to the well-known cultural venues, Seville boasts many others—from lesser-known foundations to small cafés or organizations that enliven life in the city’s neighborhoods and occasionally host interesting initiatives. We’ve compiled a list of some of them:

• Urban Tours – PHotoESPAÑA 2026 (Hotel One Shot Palacio Conde de Torrejón 09). Part of the PHotoESPAÑA festival, this group exhibition brings together award-winning photographs that capture the essence, rhythm, and most unique corners of urban life and city architecture. Through September 13, 2026.
• Plots for a Decade (1970s, 20th Century) (Sala Atín Aya / Espacio Turina). Curated by Fran G. Matute, this ambitious retrospective brings together more than two hundred photographs (many of them previously unpublished) and works on paper by Pive Amador. A fascinating, intimate visual chronicle of the countercultural, social, and musical scenes that revolutionized Seville during the Transition. Through September 20, 2026.

The season at the Casa de la Ciencia in Seville features a handful of exhibitions, some of which are permanent.

• GeoSevilla: Explore the Ground Beneath Your Feet is an interactive immersion in the province’s geological heritage and minerals, designed to help you understand the Earth’s evolution right from where you stand.

• Cetaceans of Andalusia: An educational exhibition featuring life-size replicas and skeletons that explores the species of dolphins and whales inhabiting the Andalusian coast.

• We Are CSIC: A dynamic, rotating exhibition space that brings the public closer to the most innovative research projects developed by CSIC centers in Andalusia and Extremadura. Through July 31, 2026.

• Virtual Window to Doñana: An immersive, technology-driven exhibition that allows visitors to explore the National Park’s biodiversity, ecosystems, and conservation projects in real time. Through September 2026.

“Cayetana: Grande de España” is the new temporary exhibition at the Palacio de la Casa de Las Dueñas, organized by the Casa de Alba Foundation to mark the 100th anniversary of her birth.

More than 200 pieces are on display in this centrally located palace, centered on the 18th Duchess of Alba.
