Evita Fine Arts Museum

The Evita Museum for Fine Arts occupies the Ferreyra Palace, a grand Beaux-Arts mansion with twelve exhibition halls spread across three floors. The building houses a sculpture garden and a specialized art library alongside its collection of over 500 artworks from local and international creators.

A French architect designed this palace between 1912 and 1916 for a prominent physician and limestone industry magnate. The building was later transformed into a museum and named after the wife of a major 20th-century Argentine president.

The collection brings together local and European artistic expressions in a space that became a gathering point for the city's art scene over the decades. Visitors encounter multiple styles side by side, reflecting how the museum shaped cultural conversations in the region.

The entrance is located near a central plaza in the neighborhood and is easy to reach on foot when walking through the district. Outdoor seating areas provide places to rest between galleries, which is especially pleasant during warmer months.

The imperial bedroom displays furniture crafted by a Parisian cabinetmaker, replicated after pieces owned by a French emperor. These reproductions reflect a period when copying European symbols of power and prestige was fashionable among wealthy South American elites.
