It’s not on the main road, so you can drive by it every day and not know it’s there, as thousands do. It’s in West Demerara, and I passed it myself many times on the way to and from Parika, totally unaware that just about 200 yards from the main road is a museum housing the most impressive collection of Guyana memorabilia that you will ever encounter. It’s in area known as Kastev in the village of Meten-Meer-Zorg and descriptions can never do justice to the place – you have to see it to believe it. Indeed, the story behind it is as enthralling as the museum itself.
It centres around Gary Serrao, a Georgetown boy who became a chemical engineer in London, and who began collecting Guyanese artifacts
