National Museum of Costa Rica

Experiencia fantástica: Wow! We loved it. Entrance was free the day we went. Starts off in the Butterfly house, followed by permanent and some temporary exhibits. A wealth of information about the history of Costa Rica - pre and post Columbian to industrialization and modernization. Worth visiting if you find yourself in San Jose. Staff is very helpful.

Experiencia fantástica: This was an awesome museum! I enjoyed the exhibits and the people were friendly. It is indoor/outdoor like most places in Costa Rica so take an umbrella if you go during their Winter rain season.

Experiencia fantástica: Fantastic place to check out!! The museum was absolutely wonderful to walk around. It was inexpensive and you could spend the whole day there. The staff was super friendly and the butterflies were the best part. The art was breathtaking and there were so many different things to look at. They had the history of Costa Rica, lots of art work, and even the original jail cells. Absolutely rich in history and a fun place to spend a few hours. AC was a plus!

Experiencia fantástica: Very central location. Great museum with a lot of history and images - archeological finds, artifacts from Costa Rica's development. Moves from ancient civilizations to present day, very nicely done. Man at front ticket booth was very kind and definitely easy on the eyes. Good intro to the museum!

Experiencia fantástica: Little precious museum of Costa Rica history. A small butterfly conservatory inside the museum too! Admission fee around CAN $12.00. It's definitely worth it! RECOMMENDED!
