It include artifacts from Native American civilization dating from 800BCE. I was very happy to see that Costa Rica government has given equal importance in preserving both Colonial history and Native American history. Foreigners have to pay few dollars more than locals for museum tickets. The staff in the museum are very friendly. I will post more details about this in next post.
