Museum of Arts and Popular Customs of Seville

[2] The exterior is ceramic over brick, and has three doors with archivolts adorned with glazed tiles (azulejos).

[citation needed] The building originally consisted of two stories over an aeration chamber (necessary because of the humidity).

[2] In the 1960s, the main floor, originally over 12 metres (39 ft) high, was divided in two, with an intermediate level added by architect Delgado Roig.

In 1972, as part of the preparations for the current museum, the various stories of the building were connected by a grand spiral staircase designed by José Galnares Sagastizábal.

[2] For the next seven years, the museum fell under the responsibility of the Ministry of Education and Science, but the city government occupied more than half of the poorly maintained building.

There is also a photo archive, audiovisual and conference rooms, as well as a restoration studio and a photography laboratory.

The largest donation after the founding was the 1979 Díaz Velázquez legacy, one of Europe's best collections of embroidery and lace, with nearly 6,000 pieces.

The city donated the originals of the posters for the annual Seville Fair (Feria de Abril).
