A nice quick stop where the proud resident volunteers of Davao City will briefly explain the history. They will not accept tips.

Visit the new temporary location and get amazed by how rich Mindanao culture and heritage is. Get the guided tour and ask for Sir Randy. He is very knowledgeable and informative.

This is a must visit when you go to Davao. Admission is free.…

Overall good experience. I hope they will expand. …

I thought that since it was lunchtime, maybe they were just closed for that, since it was not a holiday either, but start of business Monday. Came back to see it remained closed and inquired - reply was that they are RELOCATING to another building and this building will be used for another purpose. I'm posting this just as an FYI. I never saw any exhibits there, so no options on their holdings.…
