Museo del Barro

Experiencia fantástica: Great exposition of Paraguayan culture from the past till the present. Very well thought out and maintained. The building itself is also amazing

Experiencia positiva: Has potential but needs to invest in more explanations and/or audio guides to make it more interesting for visitors. Free admission and worth a walk through.

Experiencia fantástica: Cool museum. Needs about 1-2 hours to explore. Worth a visit. Friday & Saturday entrance is free

Experiencia positiva: The museum itself is a relatively small two-story building with a small interior courtyard. The only reason to go there is to see the works by Carlos Colombino. One work fills an entire wall, there are some of his political works, and there are two objets d'art. The rest of this museum is filled with a bizarre mix of artifacts from other countries, a room full of various crosses and other things related to the Catholic history of the region, and modern art including performance art that is best compared to the Dada movement in France. There is a small museum store with an attendant, and the large Colombino book is sold here. The coffee shop is closed. Even with its shortcomings, this is the best museum Paraguay has to offer, and it is a private museum. If you know anything about South America, you understand why.

Experiencia fantástica: Lovely and interesting Museum.Definitely worth your time if you wish to have a good look at local culture.
