The Museo de la Mola (MuMo) is located in the Casco Viejo of Panama City, in a space that allows both Panamanians and foreigners to learn about and appreciate the Mola. The building is called "El Colegio II" because it was formerly the headquarters of the Maria Inmaculada School for Young Ladies.
MuMo was created with the aim of providing a space to appreciate the Mola as a work of art.
MuMo is a project promoted by the Alberto Motta Foundation, with the support of the Llopis Foundation and private art collector David de Castro. It forms part of the Motta family's legacy of contributing to the development of Panamanian culture and education, two of the five pillars of the Alberto Motta Foundation.
MuMo invites visitors to explore and learn about molas from an artistic perspective through its five exhibitions: Technique and Evolution of the Mola, Cosmovision and Protection, Environment Molas, Molas in Layers, and Narrative Molas or Story Molas.
The MuMo exhibition consists of around 200 molas, with more than two-thirds coming from the Llopis Foundation, a quarter from the private collection of David de Castro, and the rest from the Alberto Motta Foundation.
