Museo Superior de Bellas Artes Evita | Palacio Ferreyra

Wonderful museum, usually free but you should donate a bit to keep it well maintained! They close at 7 and there are 4 floors so leave enough time to see all the beauty! I walked in one night and they had a wonderful live exhibit going on(see video)

We went there in February, 2023 on the weekend afternoon. At that time, their entrance fee was 250 pesos per person. It was really good time to feel Argentina arts. It made us clam. There were a few people. If you have backpack or big bag, you need to deposit it at the entrance.

A nice little museum with some mainly modern art. I paid 1000 pesos ($1). See my pictures to have some idea what it is about.

It is not what it once was, but it is still a very beautiful building that has some beautiful pieces. The cafe is no longer open. All museums in Cordoba are free on Wednesdays, so I recommend you go then.

Outstanding museum in a stunning mansion formerly occupied by the Ferreyra family. The selection of periods and works spans several centuries, with frequent new works. The outside courtyard area is also nice to chill and have some mate. Wednesdays are free, for the record.

The museum was incredible, we had a great time; you have to pay an entrance fee, but the construction and theme is awesomee

The building itself is beautiful, as is all the artwork. There is a large variety of works, which makes it enjoyable for people with distinct tastes. The people who work here are also very kind.

In weekends the Argentinians go to the garden near by the museum and sat there to spend time drinking “mate” and hang with friends. You can stay there enjoying the fresh air until 7pm

One thing I liked about art museums in Argentina is that they tended not to be enormous, Louvre-sized all-day slogfests (and priced accordingly high). The biggest thing about the Museo Superior de Bellas Artes Evita Palacio Ferreyra is its name! You can spend a couple of hours here, see it all, and not have to devote an entire day. In fact, I suggest you get the combined ticket that also gets you into the Caraffa -- not because it's such a huge savings, but because they're very close to each other, manageably sized, and you'll still have time to do other things. Quick history lesson: the Palacio is an early-20th-century mansion built for Dr. Martín Ferreyra, a prominent local surgeon as well the owner of limestone quarries and the then-biggest lime factory in Argentina. The mansion was expropriated by the governor in 2005 and subjected to a controversial renovation that some feel ruined the historic building. Although it was subsequently renamed the Evita Fine Arts Museum, it really doesn't have any connection to Evita Peron, nor should it be confused with the Museo Evita in Buenos Aires. With that background in mind, you can appreciate the lavish grandeur of the main staircase in the central lobby, and the eye-popping green lattice trim in the Winter Garden gallery. Even if you don't want to eat in the museum cafe, you should peek in and admire the elaborate carved and painted details on the walls and ceilings (some of which you can see in photos here). The collection focuses on Argentine and South American artists. Apparently they have a Picasso and Goya, but I don't remember seeing those on our visit. In addition to their permanent exhibition, there are also temporary exhibitions and a photographic exhibit on the history and remodel of the building itself. There was no gift shop that I saw, but there is a bar/restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. Overall, while there might not be world-class art masterpieces here, it's an interesting local landmark worth visiting for the building as well as the art collection. I wouldn't call it a must-see for every visitor, but art and architecture lovers would enjoy spending a couple of hours at the Palacio Ferreyra.
