Lonely Planet review

Selected as an official site for the annual Costa Rican Arts Festival in San José, this shop has done an admirable job of bringing together artwork and crafts from Costa Rica's small but diverse population of indigenous tribes. If you want a quick education about indigenous culture or just a brilliant souvenir, this is a good place to start.

Owner Aisling French regularly visits artists in remote villages around the country and can provide background information on the various traditions represented.

There is also some work by contemporary urban artists, including art produced by Central American street children through a nonprofit program.

English is spoken. In the rainy season it is closed on Sunday, and shop hours may vary.
