About us
¨Chietón Morén¨ means ¨a fair deal¨ in Brunka language. We are a museum and store, located in San José, Costa Rica, in which we, artisans from indigenous communities of Costa Rica, exhibit and sell our art and products.
The project was born many years ago from the Brunka indigenous community, with the support of the CEDI (Dominican Research Center). Today, we are around 250 artisans from eight different indigenous groups in the country.
Chietón Morén is all about identity and dignity.
Our museum
We have an exhibit of our eight different indigenous communities. The visitor can find information about our culture, our way of life, our crafts and how we make them.
It should be noted that this is not a history museum, it is not something academic. It is a direct meeting and an invitation. You will read what we - in our own words - we want you to know about us. The design was made in collaboration with the staff of the National Museum. There is a very precise map of Costa Rica that indicates our territories. You will find the information you need in case you want to visit us. It's a pleasure!
Free entrance.
Our Market
Sales are direct, from producer to consumer. Each object has a small label with the name of the artisan who made it, as well as the territory where it comes from. So, if you want to take, as a souvenir or gift, something beautiful, original, authentic and affordable, Chietón Morén is the place to be.
Artisans and craftswomen receive 80% of the profits from sales in the store, the remainder is used for its operation and tax obligations. The store works only with volunteers, who are responsible for the complete management of the project.
