The Archeological Museum of Seville (Spanish: Museo Arqueológico de Sevilla) is a museum in Seville, southern Spain, housed in the Pabellón del Renacimiento, one of the pavilions designed by the architect Aníbal González.
[1] Following a move of the collection to the Pabellón del Renacimiento started in 1942, 8 exhibition rooms were opened in the new premises on 25 May 1946.
[2] The museum's basement houses the El Carambolo treasure, discovered in Camas (3 km NW of Seville) in 1958.
The hoard, initially associated to Tartessos, has been however interpreted since the 1990s rather as part of a Phoenician sanctuary; this later hypothesis was verified by new archaeological digs in the 2000s.
Another of the iconic sculptural items of the collection is the Seated Marriage of Orippo [es], donated by the Marquise of Esquivel in 1944.
