An amazing museum in Buenos Aires! So much information! The online recordings available on their website are easy to follow. You can choose from different languages, and each room displays information in both English and Spanish! Highly recommended!

Museo Evita is a remarkable place, offering a deep dive into the life and legacy of Eva Perón. The exhibits are well-organized and provide great insights into her influence on Argentina. However, I do believe the ticket price is a bit high for what you get, as the experience feels somewhat limited. Furthermore, the internet connection in the museum isn't very reliable, making it hard to utilize the audio guide—a critical element for fully enjoying the exhibits. While it's a good spot for history lovers, these elements could be improved.

The architecture is stunning, and it's worth a visit if you’re interested in Evita. I went on a Sunday when it was practically empty, which was nice. However, I found it a bit pricey for a small museum (7.5k pesos or 5.5k for students). I also feel that the museum doesn’t delve deeply into the historical and political complexities of Peronism. This somewhat one-dimensional perspective is expected, given that it's located in a space founded by Eva.

It was much better than I anticipated. It helps if you don't read too much about her history beforehand.
