Museo Evita

Museo Evita review

Opened in 2001, this museum is housed in an aristocratic residence that Perón expropriated to convert into a women's shelter for his wife's welfare agency. It's worth a visit to see the range of myths she has inspired in Argentina. Paintings, posters and busts are displayed alongside fabulous outfits she wore on tours of Europe.

The two star pieces are the dresses designed by Paco Jamandreu that she wore for her audiences with the Pope, and her libreta civica (identity book) - No. 0.000.001. Arguably better than the museum itself is the newly refurbished restaurant and outdoor terrace.
