The Belmopan Museum offers a focused look at the nation's journey from colonial times to independence, with special emphasis on the creation of Belmopan as the capital after Hurricane Hattie destroyed Belize City in 1961. Exhibits feature historical photographs, artifacts, and displays on the country's diverse cultural heritage, including Maya, Creole, Garifuna, and Mestizo traditions. It's a compact but informative stop for understanding Belize's identity and the story behind its planned capital.
