Evita Museum of Fine Arts

The Evita Museum of Fine Arts is located in the old Ferreira Palace, built between 1912 and 1916. The mansion once belonged to an Argentine doctor, surgeon and quarry owner and the largest limestone factory in Argentina at the time.

Many years later, as a result of complex repairs, the original appearance of the palace was lost and interior details were lost, and the lack of surviving photographs made it impossible to return the building to its original appearance.

After much restoration work, the mansion opened its doors on October 17, 2007 as an art museum. The museum owes its name to the First Lady of the country Evita Peron. The museum has 12 exhibition halls, a sculpture garden, a library and an auditorium for 120 seats. Its exposition presents more than 500 unique art exhibits, including the works of such outstanding artists as Francisco Goya, Pablo Picasso and many others.
