Take a moment with Georgia Athanasopulos, Consul General of Panama in Philadelphia, as she invites fellow Panamanians, and all of Philadelphia to take a closer look at the Coclé culture in the Penn Museum's new exhibition, Beneath the Surface: Life, Death, and Gold in Ancient Panama. Visitors can be among the first to see the Penn Museum's newest exhibition. Spectacular finds at the Precolumbian cemetery of Sitio Conte in central Panama shed light on a mysterious and complex society that thrived there more than 1,000 years ago. This new exhibition offers contemporary perspectives on the people and culture from a range of scholars and scientists.
