Biomuseo: Panama is the Museum

SERIES OF 60 MICRODOCUMENTARIES · 2019 · COMMISSIONED BY BIOMUSEO

Synopsis

Commissioned work for the Biomuseo's permanent interactive exhibition «Panamá es el Museo».

The purpose of the exhibition is to give the visitor a sense of the range of experiences the country holds. Those experiences are laid out as missions that the visitor discovers through the interactive gallery, which invites them to take one on and see it through.

The gallery is the last stop of the Biomuseo, the Museum of Biodiversity in Panama City and the only building Frank Gehry designed in Latin America. It runs on touchscreens, kiosks, projectors and ceiling sensors, and its programme changes continuously.
