哥斯达黎加美术馆印象
-
No admission charged here!!!! And the bonus, this is a WONDERFUL museum. The exhibits offer a representation of all stages and periods of Costa Rican art and artists. The building was originally the terminal building for Costa Rica's international airport that was where La Sabana Park is now. The building is gorgeous! One large conference room upstairs has breathtakingly decorated plaster that pictographically offers the history and development of the country from pre-Columbian to the 1930's. The room is a national treasure.

There's nothing not to love about this museum. The environment in it, the calm, the way history flows into art is simply beautiful.

We got to the museum just before closing and took a quick run through. There are some very nice pieces but also many we didn't like, but then everyone has a very personal taste in art.

We went here with our class to enjoy a lot of the local art. We were not disappointed, it was all well put together.

This former airport had a rather small museum but be sure not to miss the fabulous mural that goes around the entire room upstairs. It starts with native peoples and progresses through the arrival of Europeans, the development of education and technology, up to the era of the airplane. It was terrific!

I'm not much of an art museum person, but I loved this place. It's well designed, the exhibits are small and succinct, each one offering up a few works from a (mostly) contemporary Costa Rican artist (two of whom were actually on site, there to talk about their works with visitors), and, it's free.

More impressive than many places you'll pay into. Highlight was upstairs former diplomatic /vip waiting room with walls depicting the history of costa Rica. Outside sculptures too. Pity they didn't have a shop or cafe.

This museum is right on the edge of San Jose near the large greenspace and easily accessible. The sculptures in the back courtyard are wonderful! The rest of the collection changes regularly. We got in for free, so it was a nice excursion on our day to the park. But definitely not worth a special trip...

This is a small enough art museum housed in a beautiful building which was the city's former airport. It's possible to see everything in around an hour and there is free entry. There is some really interesting and unusual art by Costa Rican artists.The sculptures outside are really impressive, especially the large white marble arched structure. It's really amazing when you are up close. The former diplomat's lounge on the second floor is also amazing. I would highly recommend taking the time to check out this little museum.

In my view some reviewers have allowed their enthusiasm to run away a little in describing the contents of this little museum, but it is well worth a visit for the building alone, and there are a few nice pieces. The old VIP lounge is remarkable. I was struck by the lack of pre-Colombian influence in all but a handful of the sculptures. Probably a good deal less contemporary rubbish than in Tate Modern, but equally, less outstanding talent! Very easily accessible from Grano de Oro hotel or Park hotel
