Today, I will introduce the Guam Museum in Hagåtña.
If you want to learn about Guam's history, this is a must-visit place.
Hagåtña is the capital of Guam. It is the center of politics and economy.
Around the museum, you can also visit many tourist spots like Spanish Plaza, Hagåtña Cathedral, and Chamorro Village.
When you enter, you can pay the entrance fee at the counter and start your visit.
The tour starts on the second floor, which you can reach by stairs.
The first exhibits are about Guam's marine ecosystem, including artifacts and photos.
Using the museum’s WiFi and scanning the QR code to access a site with descriptions makes the visit very interesting.
The next section displays artifacts from past civilizations.
There is also an interesting explanation about Latte Stones.
Here, you can see tools and lifestyle items of Guam's indigenous people.
You can learn how ancient people lived.
World War II had a big impact on Guam.
The history of Guam under Japanese colonization and the war's effects are shown through videos and sound.
After seeing the war history, go down the stairs to the first floor.
On the first floor, you can see census data about Guam's population, both past and present.
It shows how Guam has changed over time.
Visiting the Guam Museum and learning about its history and culture before going sightseeing can make your trip to Guam even better.
The museum is also close to many other tourist attractions, which is another great reason to visit.
