90 Years in the making
The Senator Antonio M. Palomo Guam Museum & Educational Facility is a place which all Guam’s people can be proud. Within these walls and on the grounds the stories of the past will come alive, and new imaginings and new stories will emerge. The Guam Museum reflects the diversity, creativity, and resilience of Guam and the Mariana Islands. It will encourage people to engage in dialogue, to share multiple perspectives and experiences, and debate issues that concern us all today.
“A journey through our History
begins with opening the book.”
Dr. Ramon Sablan is best known as Guam’s first Chamorro medical doctor. He also composed the Guam Hymn in English. He was instrumental in the call to donate historical items for the museum in 1926.
Used as weapons by ancient Chamorro warriors, the sling stone has become the most recognisable symbol of our culture. Its shape has bee incorporated in many designs such as the Guam Flag , the Guam Seal and Guam Museum.
