THE BIOMUSEO, SCIENCE AND ARCHITECTURE OF THE FIRST LEVEL

In addition to the work of renowned architect Frank Gehry (1929-2025) with his deconstructivist and sculptural style, which is highly visible in structures such as the Walt Disney Concert Hall and the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, the vivid colors of the tropics reflect the country's natural diversity. The building was designed to tell the story of how the Isthmus of Panama rose from the sea, uniting two continents, separating a great ocean in two, and forever changing the planet's biodiversity.

This building with a chaotic exterior image houses interesting exhibition rooms with large sculptures of animals and plants, mineral exhibitions, audiovisual projections that immerse the visitor in Panamanian ecosystems and outdoor spaces that put them in contact with the elements of the tropical climate.

In addition to its permanent rooms, the museum presents temporary exhibitions related to science. 'Eyes in Space' is currently open to the public, about the amazing technology developed by NASA and the role that space exploration has in our understanding of the universe, the Earth and ourselves.

The Biomuseo is surrounded by gardens where you can live with the local flora and fauna, as well as an unbeatable view. From different angles you can see the profile of the modern city, the Old Town, Cerro Ancón and the Bridge of the Americas.

With irregular shapes, curved lines, fragmented angles, and innovative materials, architect Frank Gehry's buildings are often seen as works of urban art that become visual icons of the city where they are located, boosting the economy and tourism. The Biomuseo is his only work in Latin America and in the tropics.
