The 7 Top Museums in Paraguay
With one of the most intact indigenous cultures in South America, a deep passion for football and a population that varies hugely from Guaraní to Eastern European Mennonite, Paraguay is a hotspot for culture vultures and history buffs. For those looking to get stuck into this eclectic nation’s unique heritage, here’s our pick of the top museums across the country.
1. Museum del Futbol Sudamericano
Museum
The trip out to Luque, a mini-city around 10 miles (16 kilometres) east of downtown Asunción, is worth it to see this sports-mad museum. Football is a national pastime in this part of the world, and it’s celebrated here with 1,800 football-related items from club shirts to behind-the-scenes photos. Wander through the hall of champions for a glimpse of some of the country’s most prized trophies, and don’t miss the short film shown inside a giant football. Fans of the beautiful game should contact the museum ahead for a guided tour.
