Museo del Barro
Parim aeg külastamiseks
Weekday mornings around 9:30 AM right when the museum opens, when the light floods the ceramic galleries and crowds are nonexistent. The dry months from May to September make the short walk through the surrounding neighborhood far more pleasant.

Teave
Kiired faktid: Üle 4000 keraamikatöö täidab seda muuseumi, ulatudes kolumbuse-eelsetest esemetest tänapäevase Paraguay kunstini. Kollektsioon sisaldab peeneid jesuiitide misjonite nikerdusi, põlisrahvaste tekstiilitöid ja üllatavat hulka igapäevaseid saviesemeid, mida on sajandite jooksul kasutatud.
Esiletõstmised: Üks tuba mahutab "Museo del Diablo" näituse: üle 200 kuradimaski, mida kasutatakse traditsioonilistel Paraguay festivalidel, igaüks käsitsi nikerdatud väljenditega, mis ulatuvad naljakast õõvastavani. Maskid ripuvad põrandast laeni, luues õõvastava tunde, et kümned erinevad kuradid vaatavad külastajaid igast nurgast.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- Request the English audio guide at the front desk, as printed labels are almost exclusively in Spanish.
- Skip the gift shop near the entrance and head straight for the third gallery: the Indigenous featherwork collection is the museum's most overlooked treasure.
- Photography without flash is allowed in most rooms, but the lighting is dim, so bring a camera that handles low light well.
- Visit on a Tuesday morning if possible: the attached cafe serves chipa guasu (Paraguayan corn cake) fresh from the oven that day.
