Is Thyssen Bornemisza worth visiting?

With an enormous collection of European art from the continent's most respected masters, the museum is a must-see for anyone.

What is the most famous monument in Costa Rica?

Set on the jungle-rich slopes of the Turrialba Volcano is one of the most important archaeological sites in Costa Rica, the Guayabo National Monument. Thought to have been first inhabited more than 3,000 years ago, these ancient ruins make up the largest pre-Columbian city ever discovered in Costa Rica.

What is there to see at the National Museum?

There is an exhibition about the evolution of early hominids. Note that the famous fossils Lucy and Turkana Boy are casts, not the originals. Lucy is in Ethiopia and Turkana Boy is in a research facility elsewhere in Kenya. I feel that the museum could make a lot more of Kenya's rich history in this area.

How much is the entrance fee to the National Museum?

The Museum is open from Mondays to Fridays, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, and from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm on weekends and holidays. FREE-OF-CHARGE.
