Opened in 2002 on the 50th anniversary of the death of Evita, this Palermo museum is dedicated to the life of the most revered of Argentinian figures: Maria Eva Duarte de Peron, who died of cancer at the age of 33. The permanent collection, which includes film footage, books, letters, dresses (such as the Jamandreu-designed piece that she wore to meet the Pope) and photos of her childhood and trips abroad, help bring to life for the visitor the huge mythological force Evita still exerts on Argentinian society. Stop for lunch at the lovely restaurant out the back, with a terrace.
