My only criticism, and the reason why my review is 4 stars is the lighting in some of the rooms is so bad that the glare does not allow you to see the paintings placed higher on the wall. Very disappointing for a museum of this caliber.

Great museum, miserable restaurant…read more The museum gets five stars. The restaurant (Coronado) gets one star, We had been here in 2024 ansd were back in August 2026. And the museum was great both times. The temporary exhibits were interesting the on the seond visit and we enjoyed renewing our acquaintance with the terrific permanent collection. The restuarant was another matter. No reservation, we were asked to wait while a table opened up. By a very snooty woman. She had us stand blocking the entrance into the restaurant so we moved about 2 meters (6 feet) so we would be out of he way. The hostess jumped on us like a duck on a june bug. We were in the wrong area. We were blocking access. We must move back to where we were before. We left.

My wife and I took a half day tour of some of the important sights including the Casa Rosado, Recoletta Cemetery and ending up at this museum. I am sure what originally peaked my interest was a Broadway Show about her but there was so much more to this amazing story of how she captivated a country and was both loved and despised at the same time. The part that wanted to focus on was the love. Even the building this museum is housed in was a foundation of her foundation to house and educate the poor until they could find alternative living. Giving women the right to vote and becoming a voice for those who needed one. Yes, this also becomes a massive game of politics and this woman totally captivated me even though I learned things about her that did not sit well with me. Translation for me was not an issue as we had our own guide. I did not understand why the clothing could not be photographed. There are plenty of pictures of it right here in Yelp and you would think that there are also thousands of photos while she was actually wearing this clothing. This well maintained museum was a great final stop on my personal "Evita Trail." She was clearly captivating, knew how to speak to a crowd (remember, she was an actress,) and will last in the history book for a long, long time. KUDOS to the team at Museo Evita and the private guides who travel with you.

My heartstrings were being moved by this experience. Yes folks, I was buying it all, hook, line, and sinker. Eva Peron was both a loved and despised political figure in Buenos Aires but this museum (situated in one of the buildings she used to house the unhoused until they could find homes) focuses on the good. You'll depart believing that the whole country adored her and why not? She was instrumental in giving the poor a voice and services, gaining women the right to vote, and ensuring care for those orphaned and abandoned. When she died far too early, the county not only ran out of flowers but surrounding countries did as well. Entry to the museum includes a link to a brief voice-over, in English, of each room you enter. So bring your earbuds, listen, and read and watch everything. It's all very moving and impactful. Buenos Aires has some great art museums but make some time for this museum. It's really wonderful.

Loaded with both static and interactive displays, audio and video stations, one gets immersed and discovers the long, complicated existence of these islands. The one display that was really powerful to see was the display memorializing soldiers that perished during the war with Britain in 1982. Beautifully constructed and laid out building that includes a pool with a bird's eye view of the Malvinas. The museum also has a snack bar. No gift shop. Free entry.

Definitely worth a check-out if you're into old architecture, furniture and decorations. It's basically an old mansion, decorated as it was back in the 1800s.

It's still an interesting spot to check out though.

Another free museum in Buenos Aires, make sure you see this! The exhibits while we we there included the submittals to the 2015 National Art Juried Show- and there were some pieces the likes of which I have never seen! Fresh, relevant, modern- I love seeing new ideas and artists being showcased! And in such a beautiful venue! Upstairs, there was an exhibit to advertising art, and a lot of really "make you think" preachy art. I actually LOVED It! This museum is a new favorite and going on my list! Check it out if you can, but remember, nothing opens in Buenos Aires until NOON!

The museum is fairly small but has a large variety of memorabilia from the team's history. You will see trophies from their championships, old jerseys, old photos, and old merchandise from throughout their entire history. The highlight for me was the 360 degree cinema room, where you will be shown a video that highlights the fans' passion for the team. You can pay the entry fee for the museum only, or do a full stadium tour which gives you access to the inside of the stadium. The full tour only costs a little more, so it makes no sense to me to come here and not even see the inside of the stadium.

I believe the have audio guide books in English if you do not speak Spanish. Also located on the premises is "La Maquina" a cafeteria with good food and coffee and Tienda River to buy River Plate merchandise from shirts, caps, scarves, Ignacio Copani's CD with the River Anthem and other River Plate songs, even River Plate condoms(cada can~o termine en gol) . I recommend you get the package Museum AND stadium tour together. It is easily accessible by train or a quick cab ride up Alcorta Ave, from Retiro Train station which is very scenic and recommended. It is in the posher part of town so you dont have to worry too much about safety too much unlike our poorer cousins in the south by the riachuelo .
