The National Museum of Guyana, located in the capital Georgetown, was founded in 1951 and is one of the oldest museums in South America. This neoclassical building is itself a historical landmark, and its arched corridors and colonial brick walls tell the story of Guyana's multicultural blend. The exhibition in the museum is based on "nature, history and humanities": the first floor focuses on biodiversity, exhibits rainforest specimens such as jaguars and toucans, and restores the ecological wonders of the Amazon Basin; the second floor unfolds along a timeline, from the pottery of the original inhabitants of Arawak, the navigation maps of the Dutch and British colonists, to the traditional costumes of Indian indentured laborers and African-Caribbean drum instruments, connecting Guyana's 500-year epic from colonial blood and tears to an independent republic. As Guyana's "national memory bank", this is not only a classroom for history lovers, but also breaks the boundaries of time and space with vivid exhibitions, allowing visitors to touch the soul of this South American country in a small space.
