The Museum of Popular Arts and Costumes of Seville was founded in 1972 and is located in the Mudejar Pavilion in Plaza de América. The building dates back to 1914 and internally follows a perfect symmetry and its arrangement in large rooms makes it an ideal building for museum exhibitions.

The museum tells the wealth and variety of the ethnography of the area where it is located through the exhibition of objects such as tools and costumes but also thanks to the story of the knowledge and ways of living in general in which those objects and tools are included.

The building dates back to 1914 and is part of the ensemble of three large buildings that make up the Plaza de América, designed by the Sevillian architect Aníbal González for the Ibero-American Exposition in Seville in 1929.
