this is a must do visit. I was so surprised by the place and delighted to see beautiful Costa Rican art. I love taking people here just to see the wooden inland walls upstairs ... this is what Costa Rica should do more of! renovate the true beauty of Costa Rica! More

Its location is nice (by the Sabana park) and the room with Costa Rica (and Central America's) history is incredible, but the rest of the art is pretty much one artist, and it was pretty average. Though, as it's free, I guess there really shouldn't be any complaints here. If you have nothing to do some day, go walk around... More

Small museum (4-5 main rooms) showcasing Costa Rican Art. This museum used to be part of the city airport and you can find pieces reminding of the history of this building on the premises. There are nice skulptures in the back yard. And one of the upstairs rooms has an amazing metal "wallpaper" with motives from Costa Rica's history. More

The Museo de Arte costaricense is located in La Sabana park....a couple of kilometers west of downtown San José, at the end of Avenida Central - which makes for quite a walk! While the building itself is interesting (it's actually the old downtown airport), there isn't really much to see, except for an exceptionally beautiful hand carved room on the... More

Just had a chance to visit my last time in San Jose. The architecture of the building is wonderful. The artist on display was very good and the grounds behind are nice. More

I try to go here every time I come to Costa Rica, and to get inspired. Exhibits are extraordinary! Check out the bar relief room upstairs, amazing! More

The building was beautiful, but I found the art a little one dimensional. They were full of the works of a chap called Otto Muy, and I would say I'm not a fan after seeing so many of his works here. I must admit I was hoping for a celebration of many different artists, to see all the styles and... More

This Museo de Arte Costarricense is a definte must-see on any trip to San Jose!! The museum is located in the former San Jose Airport, and the building has been perfectly renovated and preserved to look exactly as it did in its glory days. The outdoor sculpture garden is absolutely beautiful, and I was in awe of all the local... More

This place is located in Parque La Sabana, in which the building is actually the old Costa Rican International Airport in the early 20th century. It is free to come in, and usually they feature the art works of a local artist, in which at that time, it was Otto Apuy. He is a multimedia artist, and I was shown... More
