Museo de la Mola, Indigenous textile museum in Panama City, Panama

The Museo de la Mola displays 200 colorful fabric panels created through reverse applique techniques by the Guna indigenous community of Panama.

The collection includes substantial contributions from three main sources: the Llopis Foundation, David de Castro's private collection, and the Alberto Motta Foundation.

The exhibits present intricate textile designs that reflect the cosmovision and traditional stories of the Guna people through symbolic patterns and imagery.

The museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Friday between 10:00 and 16:30, and on weekends from 10:00 until 17:00.

Through five distinct exhibitions, visitors examine the evolution of mola craftsmanship and its role in preserving indigenous artistic traditions.
