Vibrant welcoming important to see
This was a small museum, but if you have an admiration for the Boruca people's artwork and masks, it's worth the drive up the mountain! My family had seen the beautiful masks in shops in larger towns and wanted to go to the town where the Boruca people lived and worked. We enjoyed the museum, and the woman there told us a few workshops we could walk to in order to see more artwork. We really enjoyed talking with the local people and buying the masks directly from the artists!! Beautiful people and beautifil art!
A great museum featuring folklore and crafts. The huge stone sphere adds gravitas. A true community museum. Well worth a visit
What a great place for mask and other Boruca art. Better prices than the San Jose market. Great story to tell about the trip here, the road is an adventure and the views are beautiful.
The Museum is small but a good place to learn about the local history and specifically the indigenous crafts. It's community run. Recently, one of the large ancient stone spheres that dot the landscape was placed in front of the museum. A good place to visit if you come to Boruca. If you are serious about buying masks you probably want to walk around and compare options.
