Congress of Panamanian Anthropology, 2013

On 4 th of September, 2013 , I had the great pleasure of lecturing at the Congress of Panamanian Anthropology, with the paper, “”Cultural and historical significance of the building of the West Indian Museum of Panama”.

The main objective of my investigation was to demonstrate that the current building of the West Indian Museum of Panama (former Chapel of the Christian Mission) has the necessary characteristics to be elevated to the status of National Historic Monument.

Friends, colleagues and new acquaintances participated with great enthusiasm at Congress today. I thank the organizers of the congress, for their well done efforts.

The website of the Congress of Panamanian Anthropology shall continue to run for approximately one year from the date of the Congress, at the internet address http://www.antropologiapanama.org/
