The old and historic center of the Capital, in the latest edition of the Explorarte Asunción 2024 project, was toured this week by students and teachers from educational institutions in the ninth department, as an educational and musical experience towards the enjoyment of cultural rights.

The guided walking tour included the historic center of Asunción from the Manzana de la Rivera, López Palace, Independence House, Pantheon of Heroes and the Municipal Theater.
The day continued with a training concert at the headquarters of the National Symphony Orchestra, a space that allowed students to learn about string instruments such as the classical harp, Paraguayan harp, guitar, as well as wind instruments such as the flute, clarinet, trumpet and trombone, to name a few.
