Visit Four Museums in Panama & Watch How Geography, Culture, & Innovation Intersect

Museums, temples of memory, have the ability to transport us back in time, educate us, and inspire our evolution. On this tour, you’ll explore three of the most iconic museums in our city.

The Biomuseo celebrates natural and cultural diversity. Designed by world-renowned architect Frank Gehry, it stands as his sole work in Latin America. Through its exhibits, it illustrates how the emergence of our isthmus has impacted biodiversity worldwide.

The Interoceanic Canal Museum, formerly the headquarters of the Compagnie Universelle du Canal Interocéanique de Panama, showcases the French efforts and ideas behind the canal’s construction.

The Mola Museum presents the revered art form of the Guna indigenous culture, La Mola. Here, you’ll learn about its evolution, creation process, and the traditions of the Guna people, including the Dule Revolution.

Finally, the Afro-Antillean Museum chronicles the arrival of Antillean migrants, selected for their resilience to disease and strong work ethic, who played a crucial role in the canal’s construction.
