The Top 10 Museums in Panama City

Located near the Cinco de Mayo metro stop and not far from the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Afro-Antillean Museum is a small and often-missed place full of historically astounding information about the first African Americans to colonize Panama, who they were, and what they contributed to the country’s rich history.

This history museum opened in 1997 to share the marvelous story of the planning, construction, and present-day operations of the extraordinary, world-famous Panama Canal. The museum is located near Avenida Central in the heart of Casco Viejo in Panama City.

Located in Panama City’s lovely Bella Vista neighborhood, the delightful Weil Art Gallery is a unique, refreshing, and inspiring gallery full of beautiful paintings that express Panamanian culture. It features local artists and their signature perspectives.

Said to be magnificent, the Natural Science Museum has been integral to Panama City since opening its doors in 1975 and is a beautiful place to explore the mysteries of planet Earth. It features extensive research, collections, and classifications of conserved geological and paleontological specimens and the local and foreign animal life it houses is made relevant to Panama’s natural resources. The museum also takes great care and places an emphasis on endangered plants and animals.
