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.

The guided tour was especially memorable thanks to an energetic and engaging young guide who brought the space to life with great storytelling. It felt intimate and unexpected, like discovering another city under the one you think you know. Definitely worth visiting if you want a more unique, off-the-beaten-path experience in Buenos Aires. Also thankful for AC on a hot day outside.

Highly recommend taking this tour. Next time we will take the North City Tour!

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.

The staff was friendly and the tour guide we had was absolutely amazing and super knowledgeable. The museum is very well done, though it focuses on a narrower period of Argentine history, after European colonization through the civil war and ending with the liberation of Bolívar and his contemporaries. There was a small section in the back focusing on Argentina's political history and celebrating 1984 when democracy finally ruled after a dark battle with dictators, military coups, and more.

Great place to get away from the heat and learn some Argentinian presidential history as long as you can read and understand Spanish. None of the signs, placards or videos are in English.
