Museums & Art

Panama City’s museums bridge the gap between geological formation and modern engineering. This collection features the Frank Gehry-designed Biomuseo, detailing the isthmus’s natural history, and the Panama Canal Museum, housed in the former French headquarters. Explore pre-Columbian artifacts at the Anthropological Museum, contemporary Latin American art at MAC Panama, and the ruins of the original 1519 settlement at Panamá Viejo. For engineering insights, the Miraflores Visitors Center provides direct views of the canal’s lock operations.
