The Costa Rican Art Museum (Museo de Arte Costarricense) was, since 1940, the terminal for the first International Airport in Costa Rica. It immediately became known as La Sabana Airport, as it was located in \"\"the Metropolitan Park of the same name.<\/p>\n

The initiative came from the then President of the Republic, Le\u00f3n Cort\u00e9s Castro, who proposed to the engineer and architect Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Barrantes (1890-1966) to design an air terminal. Barrantes merged a Spanish colonial style with a moderate architectural design of great purity lines and exquisite artistic taste. The project was approved in 1937 and the engineer Luis Paulino Jim\u00e9nez Montealegre was in charge of the construction. The work of draining and leveling the land to support the aircraft traffic was directed by Max Efinger. It opened on April 7th, 1940 under the administration of Le\u00f3n Cort\u00e9s Castro (1936-1940). The building was an international terminal until 1955, when it moved to its current location in Alajuela. However, it continued providing transit services for private light aircraft up to the early seventies. Under the administration of Daniel Oduber Quir\u00f3s (1974-1978) and the efforts of the then Culture Minister Don Guido S\u00e1enz Gonz\u00e1lez, in October 1977 and in accordance with Law # 6091, the Costa Rican Art Museum was created.<\/p>\n

The work of remodeling the building to suit the needs of a museum started in November 1977 and concluded in April 1978. These works were made by architects Edgar Brenes and Jorge Bertheau. Years later, according to Executive Decree 17338-C, published in Official Gazette No. 235 on December 11th, 1986, the building was declared of historical and architectural interest. The building consists of a basement, first and second levels with access to large roofs (former viewpoints) and a central tower.<\/p>\n
