The museum was provided by the Museo de Oro ( Gold museum) in San Jose.
It took 2 years to build the building and it has been operational since 1983.
 
The Flor Co-operativa runs this beautiful little rustic museum in town.  They were given some help to set up this museum and they sell their goods there, they have to staff the museum and they get to sell their wares at the same time outside.
 
The museum is set in a beautiful traditional-style building,which has a roof that is built in a method passed down through generations.  It is made by 2 people that nail on the pieces of Zacate de Sabana - a natural palm style roof.  The walls are built of 'cana brava' which looks similar to sugar cane, it is a beautiful natural building and built with historical openings for windows and a roof that creates air flow and it is surprisingly cool inside due to these traditional methods employed.

The museum is quite small but there is a lot of very interesting information there.  There are many photos and displays to see and outside there is a beautiful selection of Borucan craft items for sale.  The museum is right next to Marina Lazaro Morales's house and I feel she is sort of on call at all times to manage the responsibility of the museum.  Many members of her family are also involved in the operations.

La Flor co-operativa has an organization of the 23 members and they all contribute to the running of the museum and share the cost of the museum which involves paying utilities and other costs.  Then they have to rotate manning the museum and taking care of the sales of the crafts.  They have an interesting system whereby the art pieces are labeled and priced with the artisan's name on a sticky piece of tape.  When the item is purchased they remove the tape and stick it in an accounting book, so this way they can track exactly which artisan the proceeds need to go to - simple but clever!
