A former Japanese-era hospital, the Northern Mariana Islands Museum of History and Culture in Garapan, Saipan contains a small but fascinating collection of artefacts, including a forensic reconstruction of an ancient Chamorro man from a skull recovered from an ancient burial site, and real gold from the sunken galleon Nuesta Senora de la Concepcion.
