About us
Chietón Morén is a museum and store in San José, Costa Rica, in which we, artisans and artisans, from indigenous communities in Costa Rica, display and sell our products.
The project was born from the Brunka indigenous community years ago, with the support of the CEDI, Dominican Research Center. Today, we are around 250 artisans and artisans from eight different ethnic groups in the country.
Our museum
This small museum has a display of our eight different communities. The visitor can find information about our culture, our way of life, our crafts and how we make them. This is not a history museum, it is not academic. It is a direct meeting and an invitation. They will read what we - in our own words - We want you to know about us. The design was done in collaboration with the National Museum staff. 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. Nobody apart from the artisans and artisans, receives any profit from the sales in the store. The store works only with volunteers, who are in charge of the complete management of the project. Sales prices include a small commission; in addition to the price defined by the artisans to help us pay for greatly reduced operating costs.
Each object has a small label with the name of the artisan and the territory from which it comes. So, if you want to take, as a souvenir or gift, something beautiful, original, authentic and affordable, Chietón Morén is the place to be.
