PERMANENT EXHIBITIONS
The tour through the halls tells the story of Panamanian history, taking you by the hand through 1,350 pieces from pre-Columbian times to the present day, including the Torrijos-Carter Treaty, the Flag of January 9, 1964 and those of the Sowing of the Flags of 1958. Your visit begins with the rise of the isthmus, framing Panama as the region's main transit route. The heritage tells the story of our importance as a transisthmian route, the studies, explorations and the arduous process of building the Canal. Finally, you learn about our generational struggles to reclaim our sovereignty and the implementation of our great Canal expansion project.
