This museum functions in the church and harbors pieces of sacred art and other items related to the history of the region. Worthy of mentioning is a retable carved by a Yaguarón Indian in 1790. It is of cedar wood and was hand-carved in baroque colonial style. There is also an image of Santa Lucía carved in baroque colonial style dating from the 17th century that was probably brought from Europe. Exhibits also include wood carvings made by the Indians from the Franciscan reductions of San José, San Roque and the Immaculate Conception. This site was declared a National Historical Monument.
