The museum's controversial design is the only one of its kind in the entire region. Designed by the famous architect Frank Gehry in his first foray into Latin America, the Biomuseo opened its doors to the public on October 2, 2014, with five of its eight galleries. This first part of the permanent exhibition's story tells the story of the importance and development of the Isthmus of Panama – both in natural and cultural terms.
