FRANK GEHRY'S PANAMA MUSEUM IS NOT A GUGGENHEIM BUT A BIODIVERSITY MUSEUM

A deconstructed guacamaya has landed, Frank Gehry's Biodiversity Museum in Panama

up the entrance stairs...

and into the open air lobby with view to the sea

the stalactites room almost looks like contemporary post minimalist sculptures, and the curved wall winks at Richard Serra...

and models of how the exhibition rooms will look when finished

see previous site visit to museum in October 2010 here 

Panama's Biodiversity Museum is finally sheduled to open by the end of 2012.
