Paraguayan museums leave a bit to be desired, so I didn't expect much from this one (especially considering that it was free). However, this is a definite highlight. There's a ton of great pre-Colombian art and a great selection of Paraguayan art ranging from indigenous to modern day. The hours are a bit weird, though. They don't open until 3:00.

Cabildo is the cultural center in the old colonial legislative building in Asuncion, which is the capital of Paraguay. I saw e.g. exhibition about the Indians, filmmaking and music of the country. Also about the Paraguay Bicentennial celebration of independence from Spain in 1811.

This is a world class collection of the folk art (and other) of Paraguay. The only downside is the paucity of labelling. But it is well displayed and well worth a visit. The museum shop stocks good quality artifacts from indigenous communities and local craftsmen. Werll worth a trip.

Excellent gallery. Huge collection of indigenous art and artefacts, historical paintings and contemporary artwork. Shop selling some art books in English as well as Spanish. Visited every time I'm in Asuncion. Very knowledgable guides. A creative oasis.
