Beautiful interesting museum. A ticket is not required, it is a free museum. The building itself is amazing, it was an airport before; you get the story there. They have several art pieces and exhibitions inside and outside. The golden room on the second floor is the highlight of the place. Worth the time!

Definitely worth time to visit! Well it is free so technically it is worth money to visit as well! There are many beautiful artworks but the mural and the goal piece in front of the room are my favorite. There are many Hispanic paintings displaying the lives of Costa Rican people through nature and revolution. The sculptures are vivid and provoking as well.

A great Art Museum, beautifully set pieces of art in a wonderful building. Some art is outside too, those pieces are awesome as well. I liked to older pieces better than the modern ones, but all the art is great.

A beautiful, interesting, and free art museum that is well worth the visit! It's right next to a beautiful city park as well.

Well curated and presented art gallery showcasing some of Costa Rica’s best artists in various mediums. The entry is free for everyone, with lockers at the entrance to keep bags and belongings. There is a sculpture garden and two floors of exhibitions. I really loved how the museum has detailed maps and information about where the pieces are from. Most information is available in English and Spanish, with the exception of a few pieces, which having google translate helps. Staff were kind and knowledgeable.

We found this place by accident and were pleasantly surprised to find that it was free to enter. It is small and doesn't take long to view the exhibits but there are some interesting pieces. I especially liked the three stages of women. And the Gold Room which was designed for the Diplomatic Lounge at La Sabana airport. Definitely worth a visit.

Excellent and underrated. It has a nice small collection of art, including some very significant historical pieces. The museum and grounds were very nice and the staff were helpful. It might not be the sprawling expanse of some museums, but it is a focused collection at an interesting place.

It’s a nice museum to visit if you’re in San Jose, doesn’t require any ticket. You get free entry. You just have to keep your bag outside in a locker which is locked.
