Strangely, no photos are allowed and a staff member followed me around the museum to personally watch me the whole time. They also devoted about 1/3 of museum galleries to chronicling the lives of key museum staff, very strange.

Free. Just yell at the entrance and someone will come to unlock it for you. This would be a great museum to hire a guide to...

A great museum where you can learn about the indigenous peoples of Paraguay and see items dated back 1500 years and of the previous century. A huge collection of domestic artifacts as well.
