Our
History
In 1996, the historic Casco Antiguo building was transferred to the Board of Trustees of the Panama Canal Museum. Since its opening in 1997, the museum has offered Panamanians and visitors the opportunity to learn about the history of Panama and its canal through its permanent collection and temporary exhibitions of art, culture, archeology and photography. Over the years, the museum has established itself as a meeting place for memory, dialogue and cultural dissemination in the heart of the city.

Mission
The Panama Canal Museum is a non-profit institution at the service of society that researches, preserves and communicates the heritage of Panama and its Canal. Through exhibitions, educational programs, artistic projects and cultural activities, it creates meaningful and accessible experiences that promote diversity, critical reflection, sustainability and continuous learning. The museum is a dynamic platform for art, contemporary culture and community participation, fostering dialogue and cultural development locally and internationally.
