Costa Rica National Museum

National Museum of Costa Rica – Teatro Nacional
 

Just a short cab ride away from the Hotel Costa Rica, the Museo Nacional de Costa Rica (the National Museum of Costa Rica) is considered to be one of the most desired and educational places to visit in the country. Looking closely at its outer walls, visitors may be able to see the bullets lodged into the walls, a result of the country’s civil war in 1948. It is a top Costa Rica tourist attraction for all ages.

Beginning in 1950, the National Museum serves as a reference point to Costa Rica’s history in education, science, exhibition, and a look back into the heritage of the country. In addition to national and colonial memorabilia, the museum showcases an extensive collection of pre-Columbian artifacts. We feel the history of this country is important to learn not only as a local, but as a visitor. Understanding the culture, the history, and the background will give insight and interest to this small but popular country.

Visiting the Costa Rica National Museum can give visitors to San Jose a better look into the intriguing history of the country. Artifacts in the museum shed light on its geological, archaeological, religious, and modern past. At the Hotel Costa Rica, we can help give directions to this tourist destination and encourage our guests to go visit!
