Located in San José, Costa Rica, the Costa Rican Center of Science and Culture was inaugurated in 1994 within a fortress-like structure that previously served as the country's central penitentiary from 1910 to 1979. The repurposed building now houses multiple cultural and educational institutions, including the National Auditorium, the Museo de los Niños (Children's Museum), and the National Gallery, making it a significant hub for science, culture, and the arts in Costa Rica.
