If you have followed my previously published blogs, I already have uploaded various museums and this will be the last museum for our Museum Tour 2024. I hope this will not be the last museum that I can visit, hoping to visit many more soon.
Welcome to the National Museum of the Philippines Cebu, it houses various artifacts, flora and faunas, ancient remains, paintings, and historical events of the Province of Cebu and the entirety of Visayas. It is referred to as a treasure box of history, art and culture of the Visayans, especially that of the Cebuanos.
When you enter the museum, you will be amazed of its architectural designs and intricate modern style carvings. The ground floor of the museum contains mostly archaeological and ethnographic collections. There, you can see ancient remains, pottery plus you will have the chance to take a glimpse to the ancient way of life of the Visayan People.
Going up to the second floor, you can experience a glimpse of colonial and contemporary paintings and exhibits. They also have sections dedicated to the floras and faunas found in Central Visayas, showcasing the rich biodiversity of the region.
