[2] Since 1995, the museum is located in a building that had previously operated as coffeehouse (and originally a dairy farm) at Parque Tres de Febrero in the Palermo neighborhood.

[7] The installation of the Eva Perón Foundation in the City Council Building led to the museum's 1952 relocation to an Avenida del Libertador house which had belonged to a patron of traditional Argentine art, Félix Bunge (1894–1935).

The establishment of one of these recipients of this transfer, the José Hernandez Museum, in 1955, and the Bunge house's designation as its site led to the Sívori's move to a Retiro neighborhood mansion.

The permanent exhibit halls are complemented by one for temporary displays, an art library, restoration workshop, and the Ivelyse Gordon de Grimaldi Sculpture Garden.

[11] Expanding its schedule of educational events with the subsequent improvement in its finances,[12] the museum continues to host the annual Manuel Belgrano salon.
