Explore Davao: Museo Dabawenyo

It's our 6th month of living and loving Davao and finally we decided to start exploring the different famous tourist spots in the city one place at a time.
For today, let's visit Museo Dabawenyo and D' Bone Collector Museum

Museo de Davao | Museo Dabawenyo

It is known as Davao City's "People's Museum" or Davao's "New Museum". The museum is dedicated towards better historical and cultural awareness, understanding and integration of Davao City. The museum has fine outside appearance that catches most locals and foreigners interest making them visit and have a glimpse of the past scenes of Davao in the Philippines. It has rich collections of the best and most prominent handicrafts that Davao is known of. We would love to take photos of the insides, however, it is no longer allowed according to our museum guide due to some privacy issues.

The museum is divided into four rooms: 

• The Indigenous People’s Gallery: A collection of arts, crafts, musical instruments, weapons and a like made by the different tribes who lived in the province. 
• The Moro People’s Gallery: A collection of miniature houses & boats, musical instruments, chairs, weapons, armors and crowns used by the Muslim people predominantly found in the Southern Philippines. 
• The Contemporary Gallery: A collection of classic and modern designs from wood carvings to paintings among many others. 
• The Memorabilia Gallery: A collection of olden day clothes, bills (money), musical notes, porcelains and a lot more.

Wanted to know the History of Davao in just one go? Visit this Museum. The tour guide will give you all information of Davao City’s history and its living culture and traditions. It will surely be a fun learning experience. However, it will be more fun if we'll be allowed to take pictures not just on the outside but on the insides also.
