Event details
The Afro-Antillean Museum of Panamá is dedicated to preserving and disseminating the history and culture of Afro-Antillean immigrants who came to the country, primarily during the construction of the Panama Canal. Opened in 1980 and located in a former Baptist church in Panama City, the museum houses a collection of photographs, documents, and artifacts that narrate the life, customs, and legacy of these communities. Through its exhibits, the museum highlights the impact of the Afro-Caribbean diaspora on Panama's culture, economy, and development.
