One of the best museums in Costa Rica! Relatively new museum with a good collection. on Sundays 2 tickets for the price of 1.
5 floors of cool terracotta sculptures. Loved it.
With the visit! Very well done exhibits.
A very attractive museum with five floors of exhibits. Although I enjoyed my visit, I felt that 1) the price for foreigners was very steep, 2) much of the pottery lacked labels to give background information about the objects, and 3) the name of the museum is a bit misleading, as only one room out of the five floors contained jade. Most of the museum is dedicated to pottery. Still worth a visit, if you know what to expect.
Excellent museum. They offer English and Spanish descriptions. Highly recommend
It is a great museum, with the best display of jade and history of a country that I have attended. Definitely a must visit when you come to Costa Rica
Very repetitive and not very well curated. $16 each for Americans, $5 each if you have a Costa Rican student ID.
60% pottery of all nomenclatures, 20% art exhibit of Salvador Dali (who was one weird dude), 20% jade in various formats.
Was interesting the first 30min but there’s a lot of historical context lacking. Also not interactive in the least bit.
That said, better than sitting at home for $5.
