Run with heartwarming enthusiasm by local teachers, this museum has a chronological display of stone tools, Guaraní ceramics, jewelry, carved bricks and colonial objects. Highlights include a set of tablas (a colonial game similar to backgammon) and a scale model of both original Santa Fe settlements. Afternoon opening hours vary.
