    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.

  • 5/5 Emilio Aguilar C. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Far the Barro museum is the best museum in Asuncion. The healing of art allows us to explore not only the use of Paraguayan clay art and crafts but also Latin America. Mud, canvas, wood and native art, sections that the visitor goes through a well told story. (Original) Lejos el museo del Barro es el mejor museo de Asuncion. La curación del arte permite explorar no solo el uso del arte y artesanía de barro Paraguaya sino latinoamericana. Barro, lienzo, madera y arte de los nativos, secciones que el visitante recorre una historia bien contada.

    Best museum in the city, the prehispanic art pieces are amazing

  • 5/5 Helena G. 1 year ago on Google
    The Museo del barro is an oasis in a country that refuses to celebrate or showcase its own culture. Here you will find awesome multicultural art, including awesome indigenous ART. It’s a small but very meaningful space, with lots of learning and viewing. Highly recommend.

  • 4/5 Tommy-Maurice G. 1 year ago on Google
    (2023-03-28) Museo del Barro has lots of things for you to see. During weekends it is free and during the week you pay, which was not precise when we saw it online. Still, the price was cheap for us. It is mostly pieces of art from the indigenous civilizations of South America and from the early European settlers. It includes a vast collection of Christian arts and artifacts. There is also a room full of paintings that are a bit more modern and political. Some of the things cannot be seen by children due to highly sexualized artifacts. They were renovating the museum during the time we were there to make it better. It is very close to the biggest shopping center in the area. I recommend it if you like that kind of art.

    Interesting but a bit random as well.

  • 5/5 Papipupenta 6 months ago on Google
    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.

  • 5/5 alaelson h. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The moseu is in a neighborhood well away from the historic and hidden center, in my opinion there should be signs indicating that there is a museum nearby where it is located. I liked the clay objects and props of Guarani indigenous culture, the rescue of a culture forgotten today, I loved to know and recommend to all .👏👏 (Original) O moseu se encontra em um bairro bem afastado do centro histórico e escondido, na minha opinião deveria ter sinalização indicando que existe um museu nas proximidades de onde se encontra o mesmo. Gostei da contidade de objetos de barro e adereços da cultura indígena Guarani, o resgate de uma cultura esquecida pela atualidade, adorei conhecer e recomendo a todos .👏👏

    (Translated by Google) Horrible ... The museum is closed. I lost my time. The preguicosos do not even give themselves the trouble of updating google. Maybe because you think that your website is more important. So it will reopen in February do not miss its time. (Original) Horrible... El museo se encontra cerrado. Perdi mi tienpo.
