Tiburones y rayas y quimeras

Tiburones y rayas y quimeras is a new temporary exhibit at the Biomuseo that explores the diversity, adaptations, and conservation of the cartilaginous fish inhabiting Panama's seas.

This exhibit invites visitors to discover their shapes, sizes, and adaptations, as well as the role they play in marine ecosystems and the enormous threats they face today. 

The exhibit tells these stories through interpretive panels featuring original illustrations, including a large mural depicting over 30 species of sharks, rays, and chimaeras from Panama at life size. Accompanying the installation is an original sculpture titled "Wings of the Sea," designed by Camila Borrero and Alex Wtges. This piece resulted from an open call held in October 2025.


Tiburones y rayas y quimeras es posible gracias al apoyo del Fondo Canadiense para Iniciativas Locales de la Embajada de Canadá en Panamá y Mercantil.

Eyes in space

The temporary exhibition Eyes in space showcases the remarkable technology developed by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and highlights the significance of space exploration in our comprehension of the universe, Earth, and ourselves.

This exhibition is a collaboration between NASA and Panama's Ministry of Culture and is sponsored by the U.S. Embassy in Panama, SENACYT, and the Causa Nuestra Foundation.


It is located in the Pilar Arosemena de Alemán and Jaime Alemán room at the Biomuseo. It will be open to the public until December 2025.

Access to Eyes in space is free of charge. To see the rest of the Biomuseo exhibits, tickets are required.

Fósiles del Canal

The temporary exhibition Fósiles del Canal showcases amazing paleontological discoveries made during the expansion of the Panama Canal from 2011 to 2016.

Fósiles del Canal is the renewed and updated version of an exhibit that was first seen ten years ago, when the Biomuseo opened its doors to the public. That original exhibit, as well as the findings it displayed, were the result of an unprecedented scientific effort that brought together an international, multidisciplinary and inter-institutional team of experts, educators and students who carried out the so-called Panama Canal Project (PCP).

It is located in the Santiago Fernández Castro room at the Biomuseo.

Free admission. Tickets are required to visit the rest of the Biomuseo exhibits.
