"The Central Bank of Costa Rica concerned about the cultural and archaeological heritage of Costa Rica, formed the collection of pre-Columbian gold between 1950 and 1974. At the same time boosted its collection of coins and began to acquire works of national art. Initially created a public gallery in the main building of the Bank, but when the collection grew, it was decided to build a museum exclusively designed to house these collections."
