Guam Museum

Guam Museum is a history museum in Hagåtña containing thousands of objects, documents, and photographs related to the Guam and Marianas region. The three-story building features multiple galleries, a theater, and a bookstore.

The museum was founded in 1932 but suffered major damage during World War II and required decades for reconstruction. It reopened at its current location in 2016 with updated facilities and expanded collections.

The exhibitions show how Chamorro culture shapes daily life and artistic expression on the island. Visitors encounter traditional crafts, personal histories, and objects that reveal how this community thinks and creates.

The museum is located in central Hagåtña and is easily accessible on foot, with nearby parking for visitors. The exhibits are spread across multiple floors, so plan to spend two to three hours to explore everything at a comfortable pace.

The museum uses QR codes at many exhibits, providing explanations in different languages for international visitors. This makes it easy for people from around the world to learn the island's history in their own language.
