Museo del Barro

Very, very nice! Quillermo explained us many things and is a wonderful ‘host’ and artist himself! Many thanks, we had a wonderful time!

Well worth stopping by, full of interesting Paraguan art, from all cultures in the country. Lots and lots to see

Amazing museum! Better than some state museums. Visit it , if you want to know about Paraguayan/guarani material culture.

Okay museum, rather disappointed after all the hype. Great pre-Columbian collection, probably the best in the southern cone and very well labeled. Large collection of colonial religious art, but very poorly labeled. (If interested in art from the Jesuit and Franciscan missions in paraguay, much better to visit the Sacred Art Museum downtown, beautifully done.) The contemporary collections were disappointing. The indigenous collections just seem like tourist trinkets commissioned for the museum. (If interested in indigenous artifacts, much better to visit the ethnographic museum downtown - it has one of the best collections in all of LATAM.) Make sure to visit the bathrooms, which are filled with exhibits. If you only visit one museum in Asunción, I guess this one is okay. But besides pre-Columbian art, the many specialty museums downtown are better.

Great place with a lot of culture in Asunción, amazing pictures and old newspapers that showcase the history of Paraguay. Furthermore we can find a rich collection of different native tribes and religious artifacts and more

Great place. A beautiful and interesting exhibition. Very well presented exhibits of traditional Indian and contemporary art. The service was very nice and helpful. You can communicate in English. I highly recommend this place to everyone.

A whirlwind of South American art, from pre-Columbian to contemporary and spanning pretty much all media (sculpture, painting, textile, photographic and so on) and genres, from figurative to conceptual. The museum is not huge, but it is brimful of art objects. To me it lacks some organization of the exposition, there is no clear logical path from a room to the next and some more explanation of what's on display. I found the pre-Columbian sculpture to be the most interesting, but the overall feeling of being immersed in an ever changing kaleidoscope of art was also thrilling. The entrance ticket of about 7 US Dollars equivalent is more than fair, but it is even better on Fridays and Saturdays, when the entrance is completely free! Judging from the visitor logbook it would seem that the museum is more popular amongst foreigners and tourist than the local Paraguayan, and it is in fact an excellent way to have a 360 degrees glimpse of Paraguayan art through the centuries and up to the XXI century. Highly recommended!

If you want to know Paraguayan old and new culture, Museo del Barro is the best place to visit. We went there by walking from Paseo La Galeria. It took 10 minutes. There were a lot of exhibits. We spent time around 1 hour and half there. Their opening hours are limited but it’s worth to visit if you go Asunción.
