Located in the historic Santa Cruz district, the house stands near the place where Bartolomé Esteban Murillo lived and worked during the height of his career. Its restored rooms and quiet courtyards evoke the atmosphere of 17th‑century Seville, allowing visitors to imagine the daily life of the artist who shaped the city’s visual identity. The museum presents a thoughtful selection of reproductions, documents, and interpretive displays that trace Murillo’s development, his devotion to religious themes, and his influence on later generations.
