Fodor's Review:

A splendid collection of 19th- and 20th-century Costa Rican art, labeled in Spanish and English, is housed in 12 exhibition halls here. Be sure to visit the top-floor Salón Dorado to see the stucco, bronze-plated bas-relief mural depicting Costa Rican history, created by French sculptor Louis Feron. Guided tours are offered Tuesday-Friday 10-3. Wander into the sculpture garden in back and take in Jorge Jiménez's 7-meter-tall Imagen Cósmica, which depicts pre-Columbian traditions.

  • Cost: $5, free Sun.
  • Open: Tues.-Fri. 10-6, weekends 10-4
