Use of museum facilities for special events:

The Central Bank Museums were built with a modern and innovative vision, making it a landmark in the architectural history of Costa Rica. The construction is subterranean, in the form of an inverted pyramid which is divided into three levels. These are linked by a large spiral staircase and interior garden.

The building has two vestibules ideal for special events such as cocktail parties, dinners and conferences, whose visual scenery will make your activity into a social event with a distinguishing cultural setting. Activities for 150 maximum people can be carried out.

We also offer an auditorium with a capacity for 75 people, decorating service, music and all equipment necessary to host a special event.
