United States Pavilion: A Fusion of History and Art

The United States Pavilion, located in Seville, Spain, is a unique art center housed in a former monastery, offering contemporary artwork and cultural events.

This historical transformation reflects the region's artistic evolution, featuring a combination of temporary and permanent exhibitions.
