Evita Museum - Eva Perón National Institute of Historical Research, History museum in Palermo, Buenos Aires, Argentina

The Eva Perón Museum occupies a restored 1923 mansion at Lafinur 2988, displaying photographs, documents, and personal belongings of Argentina's former first lady.

The building served as Temporary Home Number 2 from 1948, providing shelter to women and children through Eva Perón's social foundation before becoming a museum in 2002.

The museum maintains over 400 digital documents and exhibits Eva Perón's wardrobe, including dresses, shoes, and accessories that represent her public role.

Visitors can explore the museum from Tuesday to Sunday between 11:00 and 19:00, with access to guided tours and an on-site restaurant.

The mansion combines Plateresque and Italian Renaissance architectural elements, earning National Historical Monument status in 1999.
