Located on La Raza Avenue, it features a permanent exhibition of 1,600 m², housed in two buildings inherited from the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition, which have been restored for this purpose. It includes several rooms with exhibits related to the Port of Seville and maritime signals.
The exhibition offers a journey through the Port of Seville, both in its historical and physical aspects. It covers everything from the Phoenicians and Romans to the centuries of the discovery of America, showcasing images, objects, and the current state of the port.
It is also a physical journey, simulating the port itself, starting from the Atlantic Ocean (Chipiona), moving through the navigable estuary, and ending at the Seville operations area. Most of the exhibition consists of pieces from industrial heritage, featuring a permanent display of maritime signals from the Spanish port system. Visitors can touch bollards, containers, docks, enter the cabin of a crane, see enormous lighthouse lanterns, or, by pressing buttons on an interactive panel, learn about the modifications made to the navigable route, which has been reduced from 120 km in the 18th century to the current 90 km.
The exhibition is organized around several rooms that showcase the port history, from its earliest origins through the medieval era and up to the first half of the 20th century, a period of significant expansion for the port. The final rooms recreate the control humans have exerted over the Guadalquivir River from the early 20th century onward, concluding with a glimpse into the future of the modern port.
