This building is absolutely beautiful, and stands tall in the heart of a square that has a ton of homeless people living there. The pink color design on the blue sky background just adds to it's beauty!

We had read positive things about this museum, in the old pink-colored legislative building. We enjoyed the ministrations of a most congenial and knowledgeable English-speaking guide Victor Ortiz. The museum includes a diverse number of exhibits, from post-colonial artifacts to a remarkable collection on manuscripts and materials from great Paraguayan musicians. (You can even visit the former chambers of the legislature and take pictures from the platform of the president. All fun and digestible.

It's the big Pink building by the plaza de armas, NOT the address currently listed on tripadvisor. The museum is small and has some decent exhibitions. I found the upstairs and its history about immigration very interesting. From the upstairs you get a nice view of the Asuncion favelas,

This small museum is unfortunately located in the Plaza Armas/Plaza Indepencia area and thus forms part of the vast refugee/homeless encampment that now dominates Asuncion. There are armed soldiers and police everywhere, which is designed correctly to put you off visiting. However, if you can brave the area, the small museum is one of the very few spots in Asuncion open for tourists. There's not a whole to see, other than (as of August 2017) an exhibition of children's toys, 20th century chair design and upstairs, a gallery about immigration. It's free and it's air conditioned, plus there's a small cafe on site, so it's worth an hour of your time.

The price of entry is free and you can spend a little over an hour here. On the top floor is a legislative room that is open to the public to see the visit, cool to see.

Located close to the cathedral as well as Casa Lopez. Unlikely you will miss this pink colonial building. Entrance is free. They have temporary art exhibits as well as permanent exhibits. Worth a quick visit. Behind this is a shanty town that seems to be trying to encroach over and almost enclose it. Be cautious particularly in the evenings.

This is really worth a visit for both the building - the former Paraguay Senate - and the exhibitions inside.

This is an old building with some very interesting items. Not exactly a high standard museum, but for any interested in Paraguayan history it is a must.

The building held the legislative chamber during the dictatorship. We sat in the seats as our guide talked about life at that time. There was also a small but interesting museum relating to immigration to the country. A statue of the Spanish 'founder' of the city is in front of the building.

This museum is in the beautiful Cabildo. Unfortunately, the Cabildo is in a part of town full of shanties and could be in better repair. The museum itself houses many fine objects though the lighting could be better. I would recommend a short visit as the displays are worthwhile.
