This distinctive museum on the outskirts of Asunción brings together Paraguayan popular, indigenous and contemporary art in a single institution. Its collections include ceramics, wood carvings, religious imagery, textiles and modern works, tracing continuities between folk traditions and current artistic practice. The building itself, with organic brick forms and courtyards, complements the displays. Widely regarded as one of the country's most important art museums, it offers a rich survey of Paraguayan cultural expression.
