Archdiocesan Museum of Cebu — Attraction in Cebu City

Where we preserve our old faith...

One of the nicest museums out here in Cebu City, might be only second to the National Museum as one of my favorites. There is an entrance fee of 50 pesos. The museum itself is divided into three sections: the chapel of relics, the second floor, and the garden. The chapel houses one of the largest collections of sacred relics I have seen and an old altar of a church. The second floor stores different kinds of icons and images of saints, as well as religious paintings, and a gallery and exhibit solely dedicated to the museum founder, the late Ricardo Cardinal Vidal. I'm only concerned about the floor though, even though I know it's made out of hardwood and is durable, I still can't believe I can see the ground from the second floor through the cracks and gaps of the wooden floor. The garden, for me, is kind of a lackluster, there's really nothing there besides a few wooden benches and, of course, its main exhibit, the bells donated from different people and parishes. To sum up, it's nice to see the history behind every display and I am still in awe of the many relics. So if you want to know about the history and see the most treasured artifacts of the Archdiocese of Cebu and the Cebuano Roman Catholicism as a whole, this is definitely a place...

I recently had the opportunity to visit the Archdiocesan Museum of Cebu during Gabii sa Kabilin and was thoroughly impressed by its stunning collection of religious artifacts and exhibits. The museum offers a captivating glimpse into the rich and diverse history and culture of the Philippines and is a must-visit destination for those interested in the country's cultural heritage.

The museum's building itself is an architectural marvel, its traditional Spanish colonial style lending a further sense of historical importance and cultural significance to the exhibits within. The knowledgeable and helpful staff further contribute to the experience, offering valuable insights and contextualization for the museum's...

Pretty good display of artifacts. Edit: I can feel (maybe I'm wrong) like the response to my review is mocking me a little xD - Fair enough - I wasn't very descriptive with it and maybe I should add some more
