A space for biodiversity

Los techos, por su gran colorido y sus formas irregulares, llamarán la atención de los visitantes que pasan por el Canal de Panamá en barcos cruceros. 

A Space for biodiversity

Panama is the ideal place to showcase biodiversity. Its wealth of natural life, diversity of environments and climate, and abundance of water combine to produce an unparalleled intensity at every scale of the chain of life.

A setting that highlights biodiversity

In order to best display the diversity of life in Panama, the Bridge of Life museum is nestled in a park-like setting that highlights the natural diversity of Panama in an accessible and easy-to-visit space.

The landscaping of this park is designed by world-renowned landscape designer Edwina von Gal & Company. Ms. von Gal and her team produce landscapes that are clearly structured, yet loose, making them an ideal complement to the design of the Bridge of Life building.

A new icon for Panama

The Bridge of Life building, which is designed by one of the world's most important architecture firms — Frank O. Gehry & Asociados — will be a new icon for Panama. It will also be a striking building unlike anything most of its visitors have ever experienced.

Set in a beautiful park that showcases the diversity of natural life in Panama, the building's pavilions house extraordinary interactive exhibits that allow the visitor to get close to nature. These exhibits are being developed by Bruce Mau Design, one of the most important design firms in the world.

The pavilions are topped with colorful roofs that will be visible at great distance by visitors arriving via cruise ships to the Pacific side of the Panama Canal. Collectively, these roofs will create a jagged and twisting silhouette that will be a clear representation of the forces of nature that shape our world. The building a memorable experience even when viewed from afar.
