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...

Megunica: Life and Art on the Streets of Costa Rica
Watch Online! at
Join four friends on a mind-broadening odyssey to Latin America, with acclaimed graffiti artist Blu. With a penchant for drawing and public art, Blu started painting walls around his native Bologna in 2000. His pieces often cover entire sides of building -- most recently the Tate Modern. In the fall of 2006, Blu, joined by filmmaker Lorenzo Fonda, and two friends documented an unscripted trip across South and Central America. They entitled the project: Megunica. It's a combination road trip, cultural exchange, street art exploration, and animated journey designed to stimulate the senses. Blu's artistic endeavors lead him through MExico, GUatemala, NIcaragua, Costa Rica and Argentina-- hence the acronym Megunica. With local guides and street artists leading the way, Blu creates his art far from the terrain of the average tourist, but close to the hearts of the people.
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.
