Excelente para conocer historia de la cultura afrodescendiente de Panamá, hay libros sobre el negro, desde la colonización española hasta la actualidad. Se ve al negro que participó durante construcción del Canal de Panamá. Cómo vivían, lo cual es interesante. Es historia de Panamá. La Sociedad de Amigos del Museo Afroantillano de Panamá, SAMAAP, de la cual formo parte, apoya éste Museo, en su mantenimiento y proyectando los valores Culturales de los afrodescendientes a través de La Feria Afroantillana (en Centro de Convenciones Atlapa), la escogencia de la Reina y Princesas de SAMAAP para el Carnaval de Panamá. Durante la Feria se presentan artistas nacionales y/o extranjeros, se venden comidas y artesanías afrocaribeñas, incluyendo actividades para niños y niñas. También hay desfile de modas, presentación de bailes y costumbres afrodescendientes, ventas de libros de escritores afrodescendientes, literatura historia etc. También está la actividad de "Conozca Su Canal" (semana del 15 de agosto) donde se hace un culto religioso para iniciar la semana, se hace una Romería en el Corte Culebra, en las riveras del Canal de Panamá como homenaje a los afrodescendientes fallecidos durante la construcción del Canal de Panamá, con culto religioso (se arrojan petalos de flores al agua y se liberan globos de helio de color negro, simbolizando el duelo; rojo por los trabajadores actuales del canal; y de color verde por los futuros trabajadores del Canal). Se realiza una Cena de Gala Bailable, para homenajear a 4 personas que han contribuido a la Sociedad Panameña, como afrodescendientes. Se ha homenajeado por ejemplo a Miroslava Herrera (quien trabaja como Redactora-Editora Técnica del Programa de la Ampliación del Canal ) y que forma parte del Grupo Afrodisíaco. También a la Doctora Rosa María Britton, Ginecóloga, Oncóloga y Escritora. A la Sra. Yomira John, Canta-Autora, Actriz y Promotora Cultural. A el Rev. Mario Eusebio Nicolás Batista, Pastor (jubilado) de las Iglesias Metodistas (MCCA) en Panamá. En esa semana de Conozca su Canal se realiza un Acto Cultural en un colegio de la localidad, con la participación de estudiantes y profesores y artistas invitados. También se realiza un Concurso de Murales entre escuelas seleccionadas, con un tema relacionado con el Canal de Panamá. En el 2016 se incluyó la participación de SAMAAP en la Feria del Libro, además de la presentación de la Escritora Olive Senior, de Jamaica, con su libro "Dying to Better Themselves", como parte de la "Semana de Conozca su Canal". No puedo dejar de mencionar que gracias al Convenio Cultural entre Panamá y Barbados, éste año, también participó, en la Semana de Conozca su Canal, el Grupo Coral The Belle Voci Cantanti de Barbados, en un Concierto en conjunto con El Coro Polifónico de Panamá, en la Catedral San Lucas. Siempre hay actividades. Las anuncio en mi Página de Facebook. Omaida Elena De...

Small but mighty and so much history.. (the building is in really poor shape). There's a small fee to visit, which I honestly think it can be increased a bit.. but otherwise really informative and learned so much. You can request a guided tour although it's mostly in Spanish, but everything else is in English so if you're a Spanish speaker, I would recommend the guided tour. A few of them spoke limited English and we spoke limited Spanish, but we were somehow able to communicate and understand each other...

We wanted to visit Mercado San Felipe Neri and the fish market afterwards and they were so helpful even with the language barrier, we were able to communicate and...

Very small museum but illuminating about Panamanian history. I wrongly assumed that African influence was mainly due to the slaves brought by Spaniards. The museum illustrates in a concise and graphical way the impact of Caribbean immigrants in Panama, mainly, workers from Jamaica, Barbados, and other islands that came to work in the French and American canals. It also tells a lot about the struggle against discrimination and the path for integration in the society. The women taking care of the museum make a great work and are very supportive, providing...

El Museo Afroantillano de Panama was a treat. Small museum but very informative. The ladies that work there were very welcoming. They made a small museum feel enormous with all the Historical information there was to share. Our guide was awesome. You can feel the pride and excitement she has for the Panamanian History and Culture. Well worth the visit. Thanks Ladies! 👍🏼❤🇵🇦 Free entry. Mask required.
