"Museo de Afro-Antillean Museum" Panamá City Things to Do Tip by spachick

As a daughter of Jamaican parents, although it wasn't my direct history, I'm sure an ambitious uncle of mine must have been part of the making of the Panama Canal.
This was a MUST SEE spot for me.
This quaint museum stood out in an area close to Casco Viejob and Perejil. It is filled with history from Spice Bun to hard work on the canal.
Mostly in Spanish but in any language you can feel the presence of something special here. I have never been to museum sole focusing in on West Indian heritage. So I was not only excited but proud of its existence.
Photos of West Indian wedding in Panama, furniture that feels like you are in a Jamaican house and information about the hard work that took place to build Panama's mainstay - the Panama Canal. Blood sweat and tears can be smelled here.
