    Definitely make a point of visiting this museum. It was recently refurbished and has excellent informational placards and a wonderful atmosphere. When I went it was about 500 colones, I think. (almost 3 dollars) Worth the trip and the cash! Open during the week: 8:30 - 4:30...but double-check on that.

    I have tried invain (or it was closed - I was in San José around Christmas - or I hadn't enough time, had to go to the airport) to visit the Jade Museum so it has remained a must see activity even if not done :-(... In the pic a navidad lit on the facade of the building of the museum

    The museum is located on the 11th floor of the Institute for National Security (INS). The building is easy to locate but the museum entrance is off to the left side as you approach the main entrance. The exhibit is the largest American jade collection in the world (over 6,000 works of pre-Columbian art and jewelry). Open Monday through Friday, 8 am-4:30 pm. Small admission.

  • Worth a visit but an hour is probably enough. Apart from what is probably the largest display of jade in the world, there are some interesting gold exhibits and good views from the museum itself over the capital.
