Panama History Museum, National museum in Casco Antiguo, Panama
The Panama History Museum occupies the ground floor of the Municipal Palace, exhibiting colonial artifacts, historical documents, and national symbols through three main exhibition rooms.
The institution, inaugurated in 1977 by anthropologist Reina Torres de Araúz, underwent substantial renovations in 1990 and 2012 to improve its preservation capabilities.
The museum displays traditional clothing from Panama's indigenous groups, including The Nasos, Gnäbe-Bublë, Gunas, and Emberá-Wounan, representing their cultural contributions.
Visitors can explore the museum from Tuesday to Sunday between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM, with guided tours available upon registration at the entrance.
The collection contains the original handwritten notes of the national anthem and exhibits the first Panamanian flag created by María Osa de Amador.
