Evita Fine Arts Museum
The Evita Fine Arts Museum (Museo Superior de Bellas Artes Evita) is an art museum in Córdoba, Argentina.
Overview
The museum is housed in the Ferreyra Palace, a
Ernest Sanson and built between 1912 and 1916 for Dr. Martín Ferreyra, a prominent local physician and surgeon, as well the owner of limestone quarries and the then-biggest lime factory in Argentina (located at Malagueño, 15 miles to the west of Córdoba).[1]
Ferreyra chose the location as a result of the development of the adjacent
Napoleon Bonaparte.[3]
The mansion was expropriated by the Córdoba Governor
Evita Perón.[5]
The museum maintains 12 exhibit halls, library, and an auditorium for 120. Its collection of over 500 works includes those by Emilio Caraffa, Juan Carlos Castagnino, Gustave Courbet, Fernando Fader, Francisco Goya, Emilio Pettoruti, Pablo Picasso, Joaquín Sorolla, Lino Enea Spilimbergo and Ricardo Supisiche, among others. The museum hosts ongoing temporary exhibits, as well.[6]
