Sobre
Fatos rápidos: Housed in a striking Neoclassical palace originally built for a Spanish diplomat, this museum safeguards over 3,000 pieces spanning 500 years of art history. Its collection includes works by Latin American masters like Tarsila do Amaral and Paraguayan artists such as Carlos Colombino, alongside European paintings from the 17th to 19th centuries.
Destaques: One room holds an entire wall of José Sánchez's "El Infierno" series, a feverish, almost hallucinatory depiction of Paraguay's social struggles painted with such raw emotion that visitors often stop mid-step. The museum also quietly displays indigenous featherwork and Jesuit-era carvings, blending colonial, modern and native traditions in ways most South American museums overlook.
