This museum exhibits more than 50,000 insects and arthropods. It is the first step towards the creation of the Bioplanet Biodiversity Institute. This permanent exhibit is part of the collection that biologist Richard Whittem has accumulated throughout the past 30 years. When beginning the journey, you can enjoy a video about insects and arthropods in natural Costa Rican sceneries. The second part features a visit to the museum halls that display colorful ants, termites, ladybugs, beetles, grasshoppers, fireflies and spiders from every corner of the world. This museum offers both English and Spanish tours. Admission is CRC4,500.
