The Evita Museum is housed in a restored 1923 mansion in Palermo and displays photographs, documents, and personal belongings of Argentina's former first lady. The building holds more than four hundred digitized documents and offers insight into her role in Argentine history.
The building served as Temporary Shelter Number 2 from 1948, providing refuge for women and children through a social foundation. It became a museum in 2002 and was declared a National Historical Monument in 1999.
The museum displays Eva Perón's wardrobe, shoes, and accessories as they appeared in her public life, showing how she presented herself as a political figure. Visitors can see the clothing she wore during important events and occasions.
The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday and allows visitors to explore independently or join guided tours. There is an on-site restaurant where you can relax before or after your visit.
The mansion blends Plateresque and Italian Renaissance styles in its architecture. This distinctive design stands out from most other buildings in the neighborhood.
