This museum has a large display of antiques and items from the mayan culture and information about their discovery. The building is very nice and all the information was posted in English and Spanish, very helpful. It is not a jewelery museum, it is a history of Costa Rica

Well worth the admission to see the jade and pottery. Good place to take the family or kids on a field trip. Fun learning experience.

I only needed about an hour to walk through the museum but I am glad I went. It was a nice, cool, quiet escapre from the city and informative. All signs were in english too.

We read all reviews (good, bad & ugly). My two cents ... museum is well worth it!! We walked over to the museum from our hotel. We arrived early and walked a couple of blocks north, south, east and west of the museum to get exercise AND find nooks and crannies not mentioned on posts we've seen. The surrounding buildings...

Well worth a stop. The museum is owned by, and on the ground floor of the office building owned and occupied by the national health insurance organization. It's clean, modern, and very well put together.

Just fascinating. Also cultural pre-columbian artifacts very well displayed and described. This is probably one of the best in Central America. Museum is on the ground floor of a high rise business building, and an absolute must see. Walking distance from the Aurola Holiday Inn

Costa Rica had no jade so whatever the indigenous people did it was with imported jade. I considered the museum so-so.

Quaint little museum. Nice piece of jade but a little repetative after being at the gold museum earlier. If you appreciate carvings check it out. Very small can be completed in 20 minutes $9.00 US entry

The entrance fee (9$) is kind of high if you ask me. But this is the world's biggest jade collection so maybe it's worth it! It took me roughly 2 hours to see it all. You can take pictures inside, and they do have both jade and potteries and some gold too. It was nice. Not stunning, but nice.
