The best museums Cebu

This mansion, built in 1850 and once owned by the Gorordo family, bears witness to the way of life of wealthy families in the ^19th century during the Spanish era. There are few reminders of Cebu's past, as there has been a lot of destruction, so it's great to be able to wander through the period furniture, paintings and porcelain. You can enjoy a cool cup of coffee in the courtyard and stock up on souvenirs in the museum store. A very interesting and interactive visit to better grasp the evolutions through the ages.

This museum, named in honor of the national hero, houses recent works by Cebuanos painters (around 100), sculptures, antiques and some archaeological remains. Concerts and plays are held in the main hall. On the first floor, the recently refurbished Rizal Library houses over 14,000 volumes of books and journals, interesting works for learning more about Cebuanos history and culture.

Between 1871 and 2004, this building housed one of the main prisons in the Visayas. Today, it is the Cebu Provincial Museum. Through different galleries, it presents the rich history and culture of the province of Cebu from pre-colonial times to the present. In addition to being culturally interesting, the place is a true haven of peace in the city. A stopover that should please art and history lovers or simply those who wish to learn more about their vacation spot.
