On the Causeway:  Panama’s Biodiversity Museum

A new Museum horning Panama’s remarkable biodiversity is slated for completion in 2009. Designed by Frank Gehry, best know for his work on the landmark Guggenheim Museum in Spain, the new museum is expected to provide a boost to Panama’s green development initiatives.  It is also Gehry’s first work ever in all of Latin America.

The new Museum will host exhibits called “The Bridge of Life”.  When the Isthmus of Panama rose out of the sea, it divided the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, forever changing the tides, winds and evolution of life on earth.  This land bridge, now known as Panama, provided the route for flora and fauna to migrate between the American continents, creating here the greatest biodiversity anywhere in the world.

Exhibits slated for display include one about interdependent ecological systems, another featuring full scale models of extinct animals that once roamed the isthmus.

Oceanographers will enjoy a large exhibit displaying the unique characteristics of the aquatic ecosystems of the Caribbean and Pacific Ocean.

Developers of the museum know that in real estate, location is everything. With this in mind, they are locating the new attraction on the Amador Causeway just a short walk from the cruise ship port. This entire area is being developed with tourism in mind.

Panama real estate buyers will be pleased to know that an ample supply of residential and commercial property is still available in the Causeway area.

You can combine the promising value of Panama real estate with the fun of a rapidly growing tourism area when you make your next home in the Amador Causeway area, a district in rapid development in Panama.
