About this audio guide
This guide to the Museum of Popular Arts and Customs of Seville walks through workshops lifted whole from Andalusian streets and rebuilt inside a hall built for a 1929 exhibition, tool for tool. You'll meet the artisans behind them: a cooper named Claudio Bernal who bent wood into wine barrels by hand, a guitar maker named Francisco Barba, a goldsmith named Fernando Marmolejo, and a castanet maker whose shells sit mid-carve. It lingers on what a space designed for paintings is doing holding sawdust and workbenches instead.
