The most amazing Authentic cultural experience!
We drove by today and had to stop to check this cute little art museum out! We were blown away by Marcelo! He gave us a little lesson even though his first language is not English! We ended up buying 2 pieces of his beautiful authentic work and it almost looked like he was going to cry! You can tell that he puts a lot of time and effort into in beautiful masterpieces! Costa Rica has a lot to offer and this little gem has been our favorite so far! Keep staying amazing Marcelo!! We are going to cherish your work forever! ❤️❤️

True Costa Rica art
So my 17-year-old son and I were on a father-son trip. We drove by the pottery shop and I turned to my son and said let’s stop and smell some flowers, so I threw the car in reverse and we met Marcelo. He is an amazing human and probably one of the most passionate artists I have ever met about his work. We bought a couple of pieces that were very reasonably priced. If you get a chance to stop and support the Costa Rican arts that would be awesome
