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.

This museum shows everything about Cebu's Christian faith journey. A must-see so you'll understand the faith roots of Cebuanos and the whole Philippines as well. It's just beside the Cebu Cathedral.

This museum consist of mainly religious & historical antiques, and memorable stuffs such as paintings, stamps, crafts, written copies, photos.. The rich collections enable us to understand the background & history of the religion in Cebu. Entrance fee is quite high compare to some other museums that are free of charge or with local tour guide, if you are very specifically interested in religion or it's relevant history in Cebu, this museum provided sufficient information & coverage.

The short tour around the area was a nice experience. There were various artifacts displayed that can help you learn, understand and appreciate more the catholic religion.

This place is all about Christian history, so if you're not a believer, there's almost nothing to do there. I was way more interested in the history of the building itself but during that cultural event no guide was available, too many people were inside.

It is a good place to visit that every Catholic has to check it. Worth and recommendable

(Translated by Google) Very solemn and sacred place (Original) 很莊嚴神聖的地方

Short journey of Cebu faith. Went there on Saturday 9AM. There is Php50 entrance.

It is the ecclesiastical museum of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cebu. The focus of the museum is regional Church architecture and artifacts. Many of the items on display are from the Spanish colonial times. It us located beside of Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral Chruch, Cebu City. They clesrly showed how catholic religion started in Cebu, Philippines. Entrance fee is 50 pesos.

Good place to get some of the history of Catholic religion in Cebu. Right next to the St nino Church

Tour guide was awesome! 100 PHP ea, (Foreigner) Took us through the whole Place, allowed pictures, offered to take our picture. We are not Catholic, and really learned alot. Great displays & artifacts.

During my college years in Cebu City, I never had the opportunity to visit the Achdiocesan Museum. However, despite its ancient exterior, I found the museum to be very welcoming. Inside, one can view a variety of regional artifacts. I took this photo during a seminar in 2016.

Religious artifacts have been preserved, most of which date back 200 to 300 years. The museum is stunning, and it is well worth a visit.

Located just beside the Cathedral. Inside you can find old altars, collection of statues and memorabilias, the space inside is quite spacious. At the back, there’s a garden with ild church bells.

It's half brick half wood building, displaying artefacts from spanish era in Cebu those daily life of catholic priest 's things picturrs chairs eorking desks, bed for sleeping . Ans tgd backysrd ground is green and lushy lawn and big shady trees.

Tourists and even local residents should visit this museum along with other museums nearby. These are the right places to learn the history of our place. For a very small fee of Php50, we could learn so much about rich history and culture.

Cool and relaxing place to pray with enough parking space👍

If you like to see more Roman Catholics antiques this is the place for you.

I grown up yo these area. The museum is cozy, full and rich in religious, cultural, heritage. Comfortable due to big vintage spanish windows on the second floor.

The entrance fee is 100 pesos. The wooden architecture is extraordinary. at the entrance a guide tells you about the history of the building. It has a garden and the bells are exhibited in the garden.

Very nice to see and definitely preserve BUT needs maintenance badly including the garden. Very nostalgic with regards to our heritage

Fascinating history

(Translated by Google) I wonder if I have gathered things owned by famous local people. The statue was quite real. It was still under construction. (Original) きっと地元で有名な方の所有していたものを集めたのかなと。像とかはかなりリアルでした。まだ工事中でした。

The Cathedral Museum of Cebu is a museum in Downtown Cebu City in the Philippines, (re)opened in November 2006. It is the ecclesiastical museum of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cebu. The focus of the museum is regional Church architecture and artifacts, an old (spanish era) house and a lot of statues. Many of the items on display are from the Spanish colonial times.

In the museum you'll find religious relics, including images of Mother Mary, Jesus, and saints. You'll also see materials that were to build houses, establishments, etc. in the 19th century. There are a lot more artifacts and old images from the history of Catholicism in the city.

The place is very beautiful, it's worth visiting. Don't miss this when you are within the vicinity of the Metropolitan Cathedral!

Overall it's good. Just, hoped restroom had tissues or soap to wash your hand. And not combined for both genders. Maybe because it's still under construction? Not sure.

The museum is restored to its glory...

The Ecclesiastical Museum of the Archdiocese of Cebu where one can find the artifacts of faith ranging from the collonial times up to the present.

you can also buy some souvenirs here

Nice museum! 👍

Friendly staff

The Archdiocesan Museum of Cebu provides a captivating exploration of Cebu City's religious and historical heritage. With its diverse collection of artifacts and artworks, the museum beautifully showcases the region's deep-rooted Catholic faith and artistic expressions. The exhibited items left us mesmerized and offered a rich insight into Cebu's cultural and religious history.

Best place to learn of Cebu's Catholic past

If you want to know about Cebu's catholic history, you may visit this one. Displays are more of Cardinal Vidal's items. There are also displays educating the visitors on the flow of the mass, parts of the altar, items used in the ceremony. A must view is the numerous monstrance displayed on the first floor.

Tried to visit this museum, but the racist policies made me not bother. They wanted to charge me more for being a foreigner just by looking at the colour of my skin. So disappointing for a religion that supposedly promotes inclusion. Avoid this racist establishment.

A nice place to see religious artifacts. Entrance fee of 100 pesos per person.

It was so elegant for me. And also very breathtaking. I just love the designs and also, I liked how it still looked antique. I love how they preserved the Cathedral Church.

The place is rich in church history, dedicated to a single person who became a cardinal, though still undergoing renovations at the time of our visit. Stil a good place to immerse yourself with the culture of the Roman Catholic religion

the place is si clean and so solemn and quite. you see eelics and other things that were displayed there are amazing.

Museum of priests. Still needs to be renovated.

If you want to know about history this is one of the place to come.

A good place to talk to the Lord.

Must visit place in Cebu City

ok

(Translated by Google) Slightly old (Original) 稍微舊了

(Translated by Google) Ah ... on the second floor, all explanations and drawings are erased I have nothing to see. 100 pesos may be a waste, but the National Museum is more meaningful. If you take a taxi from Magellan, it costs 60 pesos. (Original) 아... 2층에 설명과그림은 다 지워져있고 볼게없어요 . 100페소도 어쩌면 아까울수도있습니다.국립박물관이 더 의미있을듯 싶어요 마젤란에서 택시타면 60페소정도나옵니다

overcharges for an almost empty museum

Enlightening!

Nothing interesting except for the historic house. The yard is not well maintained, building material and rubbish are lying around Definitely don’t recommend. 100php entrance fee but nothing to see.

Historical

One of the oldest Church in cebu

Very nice collections of religious artifacts.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful white cathedral. You can't go near the altar during the mass, but you can see a large cathedral with a high ceiling. (Original) 白塗りの立派な大聖堂です。ミサが行われている時間は祭壇近くには行けませんが、高い天井の広々とした大聖堂を見学できます。

(Translated by Google) Beautiful old house! (Original) 漂亮的老房子！

historical place

One of the oldest Roman Catholic Church

It was so Peaceful inside......

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.

Figures and stories are great. Although there are areas whee you can't take a photo. So i just tried to pick my best feat.

Eerie place. Aside from that, this museum houses some colonial period artifacts. It also displays Cardinal Sin's personal effects.

Christians can learn alot from here. The devotees and the likes.
