Panama has a strong arts and culture that is old and new in tradition. It has over ten museums that display many art forms such as pre-Columbian artifacts to modern contemporary art. Its art is a mix of indigenous to modern art pieces. One popular form of art is the Mola which is a woven artistic design on shirts for people to wear. There are also amazing crafts made by the people of Panama such as beautiful woven backets, taqua nut carvings, and many tribal indigenous fine crafts made by the Wounaan, Emberá, Kuna and Ngobe-Bugle tribes. There are many different dances and music which is a huge part of Panama and its festivals. One such form of tradition is the national tamborito which is the highest form of expression of Panamanian folk art which combines dance, music, lyrics, and native costume. This tradition is performed for all festivals and especially in early February when Panama Carnival is going on for everyone to see and celebrate. Panama invites the world to bask in its warm welcoming Latin American hospitality, fine arts, amazing history, architecture, and of course there is that little canal we have as well. Come see our beautiful, tropical resorts, islands, and many tours of the canal, islands, and native ruins.
