A nice small museum to kill time in the city. Entrance is 10k and you would need about 30-45 minutes to visit it. There's a nice detailed hisptye of the railroads in Paraguay an slots of artifacts. It's not interactive

It costs about $1.50. thank God I didn't throw more money away. What a disaster. Don't bother. Bathrooms were disgusting.
