Where: Lafinur 2988

Price: with DNI AR$40 and without AR$90

The tour takes about 45 min and afterwards we will have time for lunch in the restaurant.

On July 26, 2002, fifty years to the day after Evita’s death, her grandniece, Cristina Alvarez Rodriguez, inaugurated the Evita Museum in Buenos Aires. 

Evita, an icon whose historical importance spans two centuries, now has her own museum. 

The Evita Museum is housed in a mansion constructed for the Carabassa family during the first decade of the 20th century. Architect Estanislao Pirovano gave the mansion its formal image which combines elements from both the Plateresque and Italian Renaissance styles. 

This beautiful building was declared a National Historical Monument in 1999.
