Peron Family Museum
About This Museum
You won't find the Peron Family Museum in bustling Buenos Aires, but at the literal end of the road in the remote Patagonian village of Camarones. This modest, single-story house is where a young María Eva Duarte spent her childhood summers, long before she became the Evita known to the world. Stepping inside feels less like entering a formal institution and more like walking into a preserved family memory. The air is thick with a quiet history that feels entirely separate from the political firestorm her name would later ignite.
Collection Highlights
The exhibits are deeply personal: faded family photographs, simple furniture, and Evita's own childhood schoolbooks. One of the most moving items is a small, weathered suitcase she used on her first trip to Buenos Aires at age fifteen—a poignant symbol of the immense journey that lay ahead.
Visitor Information
It's a bit of a pilgrimage to get here, tucked away in coastal Chubut Province, so check opening hours in advance. The experience is intimate and unpolished, offering a raw look at origins rather than a celebration of power.
Architecture & Building
The building itself is a humble, vernacular-style house with a corrugated metal roof and wooden siding, painted a simple white. It’s architecture of necessity, not grandeur, blending seamlessly into the stark Patagonian landscape.
