MAC Panamá | Museum of Contemporary Art

I came into the museum and Edgar offered a tour for an additional 5 dollars. Despite not knowing Spanish, he gave a fantastic tour of the exhibitions and I learned a lot (especially about the indigenous population in Panama). Highly recommended!

If you’re expecting any type of colorful contemporary art, you won’t find it here. $10 each for 2 of us. They had some very scientific prints and was about as bland of a museum I’ve ever been to. We love art, we love visiting these places in different countries, we tried our best to slow down and appreciate but we were through this entire place in 12 minutes. Trip advisor says 1-2 hours which is just not true at all. The $20 may as well been a direct donation to the arts which I hope it is but it was a waste of time for sure. The gentleman at the front was super nice, he did mention they switch out the artist twice a year so maybe we just went at a really bad time but you’ll see more art walking Casco Viejo than you will here. The best part of this place was the coffee shop because they at least had some beautiful prints on display that were for sale.

I had the most wonderful experience visiting this museum! The unique and thoughtfully curated exhibitions offer a fascinating concept that truly stands out. One of the highlights of my visit was the guided tour provided by Edgar, a staff member who went above and beyond to ensure I had an unforgettable time. Edgar conducted the tour in English with incredible passion and an impressive depth of knowledge. He answered all of my questions with enthusiasm and genuine interest, making the entire experience both enriching and enjoyable. I can confidently say this was the best museum visit I’ve had in a very long time. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a cultural and educational experience that leaves a lasting impression!

Great experience! Edgar greeted me at the front desk and then proceeded to pop into the exhibits while I was walking around in case I had questions. This is an art museum yes but the works are enmeshed with the history and culture of Panama and it was great to be able to chat about those connections with someone so knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

Very nice expositions! Had an amazing talk with Edgar, he was super friendly and had a lot of knowledge to share about the expositions and Panama itself! Would definitely recommend going here.

Huge rip off. The whole place is sketches of leaves and barnacles. It's $10 for tourist but only worth maybe a dollar or two if your like rich rich. The pictures are not of current exhibits. The children's sketches are much better than the actual art exhibit. I would rate it zero if I could. Buyer beware you've been warned but atleast they have AC.

I really enjoyed this museum! The staff was really kind and helpful and I liked the different exhibitions. My favorite was the indigenous art and poetry. Highly recommend going there!

A very nice small small museum with a couple of tightly curated current shows. English versions would have been helpful but that’s my English-entitled take on things. Worth a stop, can’t make an afternoon out of it. Kudos to the community
