Bridge of Life

November 9, 2010 by Dave7 Comments

This “bio” museum (Bridge of Life) is currently under construction and is located on the Amador Causeway (made from rocks excavated from the Panama Canal) that connects the island region of Amador to the mainland (about 20-25 minutes from Panama City. We have driven past this museum a number of times during our stay here. The museum is the only Frank Gehry designed building in Latin America. It is slated to open sometime probably in late 2011 or early 2012. It looks to be about 80% completed. Once opened it will showcase some of Panama’s ecosystems and biological diversity. This will be a major attraction to this part of the area.

Here is some more info about the museum:

    Very interesting. I was quite surprised when I heard, some time ago, howmuch Panama is actually eco-conscious, an applaudable effort.

    Thank you for becoming a follower of Pictures Just Pictures.

    Unfortunately, I’ve now filled all the space Blogger allocates there for photos so I’ve moved to

    It has a different look but is otherwise unchanged – a photo a day.

    I can’t imagine why you’d want to follow me but….I just spent a lot of time going through all your websites. Very much enjoyed reading about your travels. And I loved the Napa site…I can imagine what a help that would be to anyone traveling there. I’ve only been in California once….but really loved it. I hope to go there again and hope to visit Napa Valley. I have friends who have gone several times and I’ll tell them about your site.

    Thanks so much for coming by my blog today so that I could find yours. I found the story of your altitude sickness riveting…almost as good as Into Thin Air…he he.

    I’ll be coming back for more!

    Nita – thanks for posting here. I have a lot of interests and am trying to meet people from a variety of backgrounds and perspectives. I see you are from Oklahoma – I’ve driven through OK City once and was recently invited on a press trip there.

    Drop me a note if you or your friends need any help planning a trip to Napa – I’m happy to share any insights or advice 🙂

    Just got back from working at a Napa winery – covered in wine from working with the tanks and barrels all day! Talk soon.

    Thank you for sharing the good fruits of your travels. The Panama City Museum you showcase here is sending the message for all of us to give importance to ecological bio-diversity. Thank you.
