The National Museum

With over one hundred and twenty years of existence, Costa Rica´s most important historical museum was created to provide the country with a public establishment to deposit, classify, and study natural and artistic products. Since the very first years, the Museum focused on scientific investigation, education, exhibition, and defense of the cultural and natural heritage. The Museum houses some of the most important objects of Costa Rican history and culture, from pre-Columbian times to the present.
