The National Museum of Costa Rica was born with the objective of providing the nation with a public space where its own natural and artistic products were deposited and classified.

Located in the capital city of San Jose, the Costa Rica National Museum sits directly across from the country's Legislative Assembly. The museum is situated in the Bellavista Fortress, which was built in 1917 and originally used as military barracks, specifically during the 1948 Costa Rica civil war. Tourists visiting the museum can still see hundreds of bullet holes in the walls.

If you have the chance to take a look into the history of Costa Rica during your stay this museum is recommended! It guides you through all the different times in history that built the country we have today (including not having an army!).
