It's free. But also, this is a very nice museum. It has several famous painters and runs across the…read moremajor artistic periods. No cafe on premises but plenty around the museum.
Great collection of classic and modern art, as well as sculptures and historical artifacts…read more To enter you can make a donation that is totally optional. 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.
The Kiss by Rodin
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.
Not sure what is the hype here. The collection is small, and I didn't recognize any of the artists…read more A brief story about Frida Kahlo and husband Diego Rivera plus their philosophy is interesting. More interesting was the exhibit on Belkis Ayon and her Abakua imagery. Also, the top floor was closed.

The museum is worth seeing…read more About eight percent of what they show is utterly amazing ... and worthy of totally serious study and long contemplative gazes. The shows change frequently, but all of the shows I saw had at least one and often more than one dramatically amazing piece of art. About forty percent of what they show here is godawful. This is about the same rate as what they have at the Museu de Bellas Artes in Belgrano. Don't look at the ugly stuff. Look at the amazing stuff. And you will have a wonderful afternoon. * * * * Technically, Yelp is a restaurant reviewing site Although people review everything on here as one time or another. How is the cafe? Great tables for sitting or working on your computer. Wonderful art work on the wall. (Robust stuff that could tolerate spilled coffee or a toddler's spaghetti mistake.) My coffee and cookie were ho hum. But the room is nice. If I had some art criticism to write ... This would be a fine place to do it. And BOY could I say a lot about the good stuff and the bad stuff on these walls.
We were happily surprised by this little museum. The old casino building was once part of a complex…read morewith a neighboring hotel (long since demolished) and was built in a grandiose style with lovely details that have mostly been preserved or recreated by the museum. The entrance was free on the day we went and even on paid days is pretty reasonable at 30 pesos. The beautiful staircase and ballroom with its giant crystal chandelier take you back to another time. The solid but small collection of art in the downstairs level contains some large paintings that allow one to contemplate Argentine history especially in relation to water which feels quite relevant given the museum's location on the river bank. There is a small cafe in the museum, but it seems a shame to eat there, as it has no view of the river, and there are so many wonderful little spots in Tigre with a view or outdoor patio. The museum is the perfect size for an afternoon escape back in time on a rainy day. You can run through the exhibits in under an hour, but around two hours seems to be enough time to see everything including the grounds.

That's one thing I adore about Buenos Aires: tons of museums. Also, tons of *free* museums. And…read morethis is one of them, yay! 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. And there are descriptions of each room in English, double yay! If it's free, it's for me! However, walking around this place will make you feel poor af. It's still an interesting spot to check out though.
What a wonderfully unique museum. It is a famous mansion filled with history and beauty.read more
If you have any interest in Eva Duarte Peron and her impact on Argentina, I would definitely…read morerecommend what we did. 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.
Halfway through the small, elegant Museo Evita I had a thought: this is some seriously effective…read morepro-Evita propaganda. But I was really enjoying what I was seeing and learning. 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 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.

If you visit Buenos Aires for any length of time you're likely to make time for La Boca, a colorful…read moreneighborhood about a 25+ minute cab-ride from central Buenos Aires. Judging from the tourists in La Boca, I'd say most come to go on a walking tour then stay for lunch and shopping. The smart ones though, come here. On any walking tour of the neighborhood you're likely to learn of the influence the artist Quinquela had on the area. His legacy is more than just the colorful buildings or even his art. So learn all about him then make time for this, which is not just a museum featuring his art (and art of others) but also his home. Smack dab in the center, right where the walking tours begin, this museum costs a pittance to enter. I'd noticed Quinquela's art already, in another museum, but place is everything. Here you have his art right in the place he was painting and depicting. Look out the windows and imagine seeing the same things he saw. But certainly don't overlook his equally colorful living quarters and, if weather permits, step out on the back deck (filled with sculpture) and get a unique view of Boca. His view. This is a really good addition to any tour of Boca. One would be remiss to come to the neighborhood and overlook this at its center. Lunch will wait.
The best reason to visit La Boca…read more * * * La Boca is a colorful neighborhood in southeast Buenos Aires, Right on the harbor just before the industrial yuck and the slums start. It is known for its beautiful painted buildings made out of corrugated steel containers and painted every bright wonderful color in the universe. Benito Quinquela Martin was a famous artist who lived in La Boca and painted La Boca. His paintings are just as wonderful as the beautiful houses. His own house is right in La Boca and has been turned into a museum. He was active in the artistic life of the city. The museum not only shows his work - but the work of the painters and sculptors who were his friends. His friends do wonderful stuff. Plus, Martin decorated his house in the style of La Boca. His home decoration is something to see. * * * That said .... None of these are the real reason you want to go to Benito Quinquela Martin's house. * * * People are funny when they are tourists and they go to see faraway places. They have two modes. "Beach Mode" and "Important Cultural Place" mode. Beach Mode is "I am on vacation. I am here to get drunk. I am here to have fun. Bring on the massive rum drinks and I ain't moving." Important Cultural Place Mode is "This place is very important. Everyone tells me it is wonderful. I have to see all of it. Right now". If the Louvre has 122 rooms of art, your job supposedly is to walk through all 122 rooms, and especially past very famous paintings like the Mona Lisa. Seeing "All" of a museum generally means seeing NONE of it, Because you are too busy to actually look at the paintings for more than four seconds each. * * * What you should do at Museu Benito Quinquela Martin Is you go into "Beach" mode, while you are in a beautiful cultural place. Martin was an artist. He actually lived in that house. Live in that house the way he would have. In particular, the house has a terrace on the roof. The roof is where people go in the summer in Buenos Aires to relax. Before air conditioning, it is where they went to get cool. If they were grilling meat for a party, they would have done this outside on the roof. If it was morning and they were drinking their mate, Or night and they were drinking their Malbec, They would have done it on the roof, Just sitting and relaxing. * * * Go up on the terrace, find a nice bench and sit down. They have sculptures there. It doesn't matter if you look at the sculptures or not. Just sit, and let the cool winds of the harbor blow through your hair. Look at what you see around you. If you get so comfortable, you drop off for a nap, That's okay too. You are in a safe place. Things will still be nice when you wake up. * * * The terrace on top of Benito Martin's house is magical. He designed it that way. He lived in it that way. You can enjoy it that way. Enjoy life the way Benito Martin enjoyed life. * * * It will be the happiest part of your visit to Argentina.
The art is ok. Not much of it and it's expensive to get in for only spending about 15 minutes. :/…read more There are other better museums in BA!
