The five floors of the Jade Museum are filled with Costa Rican history, culture and artifacts shown through the jade stone. Jade represented spiritual power in the Costa Rican culture. Some of the jade was discovered throughout the country and some was traded for bird feathers or wood with other countries. Families can see how jade stones and jewelry were created by cutting jade with jade, and kids can dig for artifacts in a giant sand exhibit.
