Evita Fine Arts Museum (Palacio Ferreyra)
Museo Superior de Bellas Artes Evita – Palacio Ferreyra
An art museum in a French Belle Époque mansion, where the palace itself is as impressive as the collections of Argentine and European art.
The Ferreyra Palace was designed by a French architect in 1916 for the Ferreyra family, a wealthy merchant family. Its Louis XVI-style hall, staircase, and gardens are well preserved. In 2007, it became the Evita Museo Superior de Bellas Artes, showing Argentine and European paintings, sculptures, and photographs spanning from the colonial period to the present day. Admission is inexpensive, with free entry on Wednesdays in many cases. It is open Tuesday through Sunday from about 10:00 to 20:00 and closed on Mondays. Located at the entrance to Sarmiento Park, it can be visited together with the Emilio Caraffa Museum.
