Lonely Planet review

Located in the black glass building of the Instituto Nacional de Seguros (INS), San José's most famous museum houses the world's largest collection of American jade (say it with us - ha-day), and is often busy with tour groups. The craftsmanship of each gemstone on display is exquisite, and the various archeological exhibits of ceramic and stonework are helpful in gaining an insight into Costa Rica's pre-Colombian cultures.

The 11th-floor vantage point offers a good view of the city so bring your camera.
