Admission is free and the art installations are intriguing and unique. They have QR codes posted next to each art piece so you can read more about the artist’s thought process. I went at my own pace through the museum and I really liked the variety of art they had on display.

Very interesting historical landmark in San Jose. It’s a free art museum and the exhibits are quite interesting indeed! The museum is small though, but it has a nice garden.

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!

Underwhelming. Lots of space, not a lot of art. Zero Boricua art. No way for mobility impaired guests to see the upper level. Barely worth the price. (Free) Jade museum, Gold museum, National museum, National Theater ALL had much more to offer. Make this last on your list of SJ Museums.

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.

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

Nice, small art museum with Costa Rican exhibits in different forms of visual arts.
