Mmm, yeah, we have one, too but I think it was covered with plaster. We have one picture hanging (a large one, like 3'x4'). I don't remember, though, what we used.

Lead anchors will definitely work, there may be other products as well. You will need a drill also--no way you can tap into cement with a hammer.

There are special drill bits for that--home depot has a chart in the drill section that explains which type of drill bit to get for which material.
