A little-known gem in Asunción, despite housing an exquisite collection. Particularly noteworthy are the impressive pieces of Baroque-Guaraní sacred art, which are exhibited in an exceptional state of conservation. The museography, designed by the eminent Luis Lataza, is of high quality and provides a solid historical context, as well as detailed explanations of the pieces. This makes the visit easier compared to other museums I visited during my stay in Asunción. The entrance costs 25,000 guaraníes (September 2023). Without a doubt, a worthwhile visit for lovers of art and history.

Una interesante actividad que realizar a solas o en compañía. En la ciudad de Asunción Corazón de América del Sur

Very interesting and well preserved. Worthy of being better known

We traveled to Paraguay in April 2023. We visited this museum and it was the best experience we had! Professor Luis Lataza gave us all the explanations about the history and context not only of the works but also of the Guarani people. It was a wonderful experience! We spent 3 hours there being immersed in all that culture and history. The place is small, there are few visiting rooms, but the teacher's class was worth it! We paid 25000 guaranis. It is worth it!

Excelente muestra del arte barroco guaraní. Piezas únicas que muestran la el encuentro de culturas a partir de la tarea de los evangelizadores jesuitas y franciscanos. Fundamental el recorrido con el guía quién te hace entender profundamente cada uno de los detalles de estas obras que son un testimonio vivo de la historia.

(Original) Excelente lugar. En su patio tuvo lugar un recital de música latinoamericana. También tiene una galería de arte. Para la gente que le gusta el arte es un lindo lugar para conocer.

Excellent

Nice little museum. The guide knew his stuff well and gave a good quick guide to the museum.

There is a small entrance fee, which you can buy on site. The guide explained the collection to us, and left us free to look around the museum. There are six themed rooms that tell the history of sacred art in Paraguay. One with images dedicated to angels, two with images dedicated to Jesus Christ, one with pieces of saints from the Franciscan missions, another with pieces from saints from the Jesuit missions and a room with images of Mary. The collection is impressive and we learned a lot about the history of Paraguay during the visit. It's very worth it.

We loved this small museum of sacred art. The guide was fantastic. He went over the story behind the museum and give us the story about the art. My husband and I absolutely enjoyed it.

(Translated by Google) The ARTE SACRO museum has several points of interest, making it attractive and interesting for a specific audience and almost mandatory for students in the city. One of its uninteresting points is the space that occupied the garden of the house and that now is a dry square. In general, it is a place that is very well maintained and guarded, highlighting the various exhibitions and collections. (Original) El museo de ARTE SACRO tiene varios puntos de interés haciéndolo llamativo e interesante para determinado público y casi obligatorio para los estudiantes de la ciudad.

Quite a small museum with sacred art created during the colonial period, which means that there are a lot of Christian religious depictions. They are all quite beautiful with signage all in Spanish. The curator is quite friendly and provided a good 15-minute description about the history of the Guarani people and the significance of the museum. It's housed in a beautiful building with lots of steps to reach the top.

One of the best museums in Asunción. Sacred art is the biggest artistic treasure Paraguay produced during its colonial period. Housed in a beautifully restored italian style villa in a quiet downtown corner. The Museo de Arte sacro exhibits remarkable pieces of art, mostly made by the Guaraní indigenous in the Jesuit Reductions that flourished in the XVII century.

Many old wood carvings. Small place religious statues.. No camera permitted..

nice museum
