    A museum filled with pre Columbian artifacts, explanations of how items were used, videos, and of course carved Jade items.
    The museum covers many floors of the INS building.
    The museum is wheelchair accessible.

    Overall one of the best museums in Costa Rica for anyone to visit. The price is very acceptable; besides, it's free during plenty of nights when there's Art City Tour. The museum really has put a great effort in making it feel like a great place to appreciate culture in a comfortable and interactive (as far as these kind of museums go) environment.

    Not really my thing. I would recommend the two other museums insted, there is a lot of the same in all three of them. But the jade museum was the least interesting.

    And the most interesting was the National history museum. But that's my point of view.

    This is a very interesting place, I would recommend it to anyone who had time to spend in San Jose. The only lacking part of the place was the fact that the amazing pieces in the lobby weren't lit to be displayed properly and the gift shop loses quite an opportunity with such a small inventory of purchaseable items.

    This location had 5 floors open to the public and only one of them is dedicated to Jade. Its a relatively small museum the decor and information is nice, simple and bilingual is spanish and English. It’s a beautiful museum, just not above and beyond.

    Expensive for what you get. It is really well decorated and looks cool, but think the amount you actually learn is fairly low.

    Kind of like lipstick on a pig

    I feel like this museum shouldn't be called the Jade museum but something else. Jade is basically only on the first floor, the rest is pottery, stone etc.
    Still pretty good museum.

    They have plenty of English translations. The digital monitors they have around are kind of useless to English speakers. They barely have any information in English.

    Lots of interactive stuff for the kids. Nice building though. No hammocks though.

    Great if you like a lot of jade and mayan artifacts Although very well presented, there was no clear directions to start your journey around the museum, no one checked our tickets either so could have just walked in.

    Although there is a lot to see, a lot of it was very similar to everything else - a lot of repetition. I was told we'd need about 4hrs to see it all but quite honestly unless your going to read and watch all the videos you can do it in an hour or so.

    If you have time to burn in the city go visit.

    Variaty of things, great to see handcrafted art by aborygens from Costa Rica. Is private museum, not national, so a little expensive than national ones.

    I enjoyed this museum. It was a great place to go and learn about Pre- Colombian culture in Costa Rica and other parts of Central America. The museum had computer displays that you could select an artifact to read more about it. It also had many multi sensory displays that I noticed the children in the museum enjoyed. The museum was 15 for foreign adults and 5 dollars for foreign students.

    Amazing ancient artifacts displayed simplistically so as to not take away from the relic itself. Well done & very cool museum, I learned a lot about Central America in one visit. Would go again for sure.

    One of the best places to visit if you find yourself in San Jose. Lots of art, hystory. An unique experience that reveals a lot about the precolumbiene culture in this area.
