Use of physical space for special events

Foyers

The Central Bank Museums were built with an innovative, modern vision - a landmark in Costa Rican architecture. The construction is subterraneous, in the shape of an inverted pyramid. It is divided into three levels joined by a large spiral staircase and interior garden.

The building has two foyers, ideal for holding special events such as cocktail parties, dinners and conferences. In these activities it is possible to include a tour of all the visual spaces, giving your event a distinguishing cultural scenario. Activities can accommodate a maximum of 150 people.
