Museums
National Museum of Guyana.
At museums collected quite a rich collection of flora and fauna of Guyana, a small collection of various rocks and minerals found in Guyana, a bit of archaeological finds and samples amerindiyskogo arts and crafts. But the most important piece, in my opinion, it's a giant slot, whose remains were found in the Guyanese jungle. Recovered and transferred into the possession of the museum was only in 2010, so that few people know about it yet.
There is evidence that this is not only a giant animal, found in the jungles of the country.
The museum is located in Georgetown, North road.
