A place worth remembering

A ten-screen ecosystem story

At the Biomuseo, a ten-screen projection room immerses visitors in an audiovisual presentation of Panama’s ecosystems. In another gallery, Building the Bridge presents the geological forces that shaped the isthmus as a tactile, physical encounter.[1]

The Pacific and the Caribbean in aquaria

The Biomuseo’s Oceans Divided exhibition has two semi-cylindrical aquaria and three smaller tanks. According to the museum, they show how the Pacific and the Caribbean evolved in different ways, a divergence it links to the rising land bridge that divided them.[1]

Mola techniques in Casco Antiguo

According to the museum, the Mola Museum occupies the El Colegio II building in Casco Antiguo. Its five exhibitions include “Technique and evolution of the Mola”, “Cosmovision” and “Narrative molas”.[2]
