Visiting the Local Museum: The Palawan Museum

Since my first born have no classes for 1 week, I decided to bring her to our local museum. For her to know something about our heritage, our history. 

Tagging along her little sister, who enjoyed sight seeing. But there's one thing she's afraid of, the lady mannequin doing the "Pagdiwata" dance. 


Looking at those old jars and life-sized creatures on display amazed the little one.


Big sister was all out of carrying her little sister, for the latter to see those tall displays. :)




We spent at least half an hour roaming the 2 floors of the Museum. Also on display but not in photos are the artworks of our local painter, Jonathan Benitez. 


The Palawan Museum is located at H.Mendoza Street, (Old City Hall Building). Right wing side of the Mendoza Park Stage. Entrance Fee is Php10.00 for kids and Php50.00 for adults.

  3. I miss Palawan! It's one of the beautiful places here in country. I'm afraid we (me and my husband) weren't able to visit this museum when we were there. Hopefully we'll be able to do it the next time we (me, husband and baby) go there.

    Thank you for sharing! Blessings! :)

  11. The Pagdiwata mannequin is too creepy! I think my husband and I were supposed to go to this museum when we visited Palawan, but we didn't make it and they were closed by the time we arrived. :(

  13. I've been to Palawan once, and the experience is really amazing! Just love the fresh air! It's really a breather! We also visited a museum, though I'm not really sure if this is the same museum. I think it is a crocodile museum that we visited. Hopefully, we can go back to Palawan real soon! :)
