Museo de Arte Costarricense (Costa Rican Art Museum)

This small museum at the end of Paseo Colón in Parque La Sabana was originally the country’s principal airport terminal. Today it houses a collection of works in all media by Costa Rica’s most celebrated artists. On display are some exceptionally beautiful pieces in a wide range of styles, demonstrating how Costa Rican artists have interpreted and imitated the major European movements over the years. In addition to the permanent collection of sculptures, paintings, and prints, are rotating temporary exhibits. Be sure to visit the outdoor sculpture garden, which features works by José Sancho, Jorge Jiménez Deredia, Max Jiménez, Edgar Zuñiga, and Francisco Zuñiga. Moreover, the outdoor setting is lovely. You can easily spend an hour or two at this museum—more if you take a stroll through the neighboring Parque La Sabana.
