Museo Evita
Just a 15 minute walk from MALBA, also in the neighborhood of Palermo, is the museum of one of the most beloved woman of Argentineans. Evita or Maria Eva Duarte Peron was married to Juan Peron, the president of Argentina during the Second World War. Eva Peron was the First Lady of Argentina from 1946 until her death in 1952. Evita was so popular because she was very much involved with the less wealthy people of Argentina. In the museum you can find out her whole story and everything that she did for the porteños. You can visit the museum from Tuesday to Sunday and the entrance is 40 pesos.
