Gold - Costa Rica's Pre-Columbian gold artifacts.
Museo Del Oro. Costa Rica's gold museum. Located in San José, Costa Rica. Pictures of some of the gold artifacts you will see in the Pre-Columbian gold exhibit. Gold artifacts from Costa Rica and Central America. Hummingbirds, humans, bats, crocodiles, jaguars, pigs, lizards and others are represented. Ancient trade routes facilitated the movement of gold and other goods between Mexico and South America. Crossing through Costa Rica, spawning a golden age. I highly recommend a visit to the Gold Museum, and the nearby Jade Museum as well. These are pictures I took during a trip in December 2014.

San Jose Costa Rica Gold Museum
Hey Everyone, okay, really it's the Museos del Banco Central de Costa Rica, but in Travel Books and out on the streets, it's known as the Gold Museum. It's actually a couple different places all wrapped up in one building. There's an art gallery for temporary art exhibits, another exhibit about the history of the monetary system in Costa Rica and on the bottom floor, gold, gold and more GOLD- over 20,000 troy ounces of GOLD in more than 2,000 objects. There's also a gift shop and a branch of the Costa Rican Tourist Institute's info center... but the point is.... is it ALL worth the $9.00 entrance fee? Check out this video and find out what we think...

Pre Columbian Gold Museum Museos del Banco Central de Costa
Pre Columbian Gold Museum Museos del Banco Central de Costa
San Jose has several attractions for tourists. The Pre-Columbian Gold Museum, locally known as Museo del Oro Precolombino, is one of the best ones. It is a small art museum in downtown San Jose, Costa Rica, which is known for its intriguing exhibition of Pre-Columbian artifacts. The The Pre-Columbian Gold Museum1museum is built underground beneath the Plaza de lu cultura. It has an extraordinary and authentic collection of over 1600 individual pieces of artworks and monuments of pre-Columbian era that dates from 500 AD to 1500 Ad. The exhibition’s most popular object is the Media Escudo, Costa Rica’s very first coin which was minted years ago in 1825. It is also a home to the well-known El Guerrero, a large, human sized gold figure clad in gold ornaments. Furthermore, there are unique figurines of animals (particularly frogs and birds), amulets, jewelry pieces, erotic statues and even paintings by famous Costa Rican artist Lola Fernandez. The imitation of Pre-Columbian grave that holds 88 gold relics (discovered in 1950s in southeastern part of the country over a banana plantation) is quite an attraction to the visitors. There is a short video in English that describes the mementos and their functions precisely in order to enable the visitors to appreciate and understand the collection. One can learn a lot about the craftsmanship, skills, and aftermath of Pre-Columbian period by observing the well-laid out extensive exhibits.According to the history of Costa Rica, gold was considered to represent power and authority as well as attributed to dexterity during the Pre-Columbian times. The Pre-Columbian Gold Museum is maintained by Banco Central de Costa Rica, the central bank of the country. The Museo Numismatico, also known as National Coin Museum, is located on the ground floor of the building and displays coins, bank notes, tokens, and other unofficial items from olden times. The Casa de Moneda is on the same floor and it features the history of minting through illustrations. The Pre-Columbian Gold Museum no doubt has an exquisite collection of gold objects of several primitive civilizations of Latin America. However besides gold, there are hundreds of sculptures, metates and artworks made of clay, jade, and stone. The museum is not just about valuable antiques encased in glass; rather the ancient creations symbolize the national history, the culture, and old traditions of Costa Rica.

COSTA RICA: MARBLE STATUES and TOMBS in GENERAL CEMETERY in SAN JOSE ✝️
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's go visit the General Cemetery in the beautiful city of San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica in Central America. It is an old cemetery where you can admire many mausoleums and statues built of sparkling white marble.
Tombs, vaults and mausoleums serve as outdoor shelter for life stories of admired ones by the Costa Rican people in this place, for future generations to understand and value their country. In the General Cemetery you can come closer to the last home where important people rest, who helped to build the current Costa Rica.
Inside its 10.000 m2 (1 hectare) rest in an eternal dream 22 ex-Presidents and many Costa Rican artists who marked the future of the country with their actions. Without them, the story would have been completely different, as well as its residents.
This open-sky gallery shelters Costa Ricans of all social classes. Some of the tombstones are majestic, extravagant and sumptuous. Others are discrete, symbolic and worn out by oblivion or vandalism, whose only mission is to steal marble, iron and even belongings of the deceased.
Costa Rica is a rugged, rainforested Central American country with coastlines on the Caribbean and Pacific. Though its capital, San Jose, is home to cultural institutions like the Pre-Columbian Gold Museum, Costa Rica is known for its beaches, volcanoes, and biodiversity. Roughly a quarter of its area is made up of protected jungle, teeming with wildlife including spider monkeys and quetzal birds.

Gold Museun of Colombia
The mythical land of El Dorado survives in all its splendour in the Gold Museum of Colombia. In 1939, when the directors of the Banco de la República (central bank of Colombia) acquired the Quimbaya Poporo, they agreed that the cultural legacy of pre-Columbian gold work should be preserved from melting down or export.
Thus the first research institutions for archaeology and anthropology came into being, and laws were passed to protect our archaeological heritage. Today the Gold Museum holds more than 33,000 metallic objects in trust for present and future Colombians; these pieces are exhibited not only in its galleries in Bogotá and nine other Colombian cities, but also in frequent temporary exhibitions overseas.
