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 collections.

Si vous aimez les vieilles pierres, les statues de saints et les objets liturgiques, le Musée archidiocésain de Cebu est fait pour vous. Situé à côté de la cathédrale métropolitaine de Cebu, ce musée vous fera découvrir l'histoire et l'architecture de l'Église catholique aux Philippines. Vous pourrez admirer des chalices, des ciboires, des vêtements sacerdotaux et même une bague de cardinal. Vous pourrez aussi voir la chambre d'un prêtre, avec son lit, sa table et sa chaise. Peut-être y trouverez-vous des secrets cachés sous le matelas ? Le Musée archidiocésain de Cebu est un lieu chargé de mémoire, mais aussi d'humour. Vous pourrez vous amuser à compter les anges sur les tableaux, à chercher les différences entre les statues de la Vierge Marie, ou à imaginer ce que pensent les saints exposés. Vous pourrez aussi vous demander pourquoi le musée s'appelle "Cathedral Museum" en anglais, alors qu'il n'est pas dans la cathédrale. Peut-être est-ce une erreur de traduction, ou une astuce pour attirer plus de visiteurs ? Quoi qu'il en soit, le Musée archidiocésain de Cebu est un endroit à ne pas manquer si vous voulez en savoir plus sur la culture et la foi cebuana. C'est aussi un bon moyen de se rafraîchir dans un bâtiment climatisé, loin de la chaleur et du bruit de la ville. Et si vous avez encore soif de connaissances. Bonne visite !

I guess it's the most underrated and accesible old house in downtown cebu. It can also give you this Spanish Colonial Period feels more especially if you come inside. Old church bells, canons, original sleeping beds of the past archibishops of cebu and ornaments are there. But the most beautiful of all are statues with some dating back to 16th century. If you're a religious & history savy type of person, then this would be your perfect place.

Come here only if you wish to learn more about the history and artifacts of Christianity passed from the Spanish colonial times. Two floored with lots of explanation. Built next to a church. Small contribution of 100 peso for entry. On first floor, it’s kinda of like a prayer room with music. Second floor has history, statues of various bishops and their short biography, bedroom of bishop and some painting.
