First of all USC museum has a lot of things to showcase about such as the culture and tradition of indigenous people. We find it amusing because we don't actually know there lives. The museum itself is quite clean and there are various kinds of equipments, tools and even the things that comes from the past, they preserved it well. It is very informative and the activity that they gave us guide us to learn something new about them. I probably sure that they this museum is one of the best museum that I visited in my whole life. On the other hand, this museum gives a peace ambiance in which I think it is the best thing to feel with it because you will learn something if you are comfortable in the place that you are surrounding.

The place was highly organized and the spacing of each artifact was given care. The museum is clean as well as informative - even the information on each artifact was well-spaced and organized, not redundant. Truly a haven for any history enthusiasts.

I have only known about the USC Museum when I first went to the Downtown Campus for enrollment. When I entered it, I can say that it was cozy and held a lot of artifacts from the past. It was very informative and each gallery speaks much about its highlighted part of history. I enjoyed looking for the artifacts because it allowed me to read through the things kept there.

It was my first time to visit the museum and I was impressed that there were a lot of artifacts inside. It was fascinating to see them in person. During the tour, I learned a little bit of its history based on the description written. I was impressed that after how many years, they were able to maintain its condition.

The first time I entered the school, I immediately noticed this museum, granted it was almost impossible to miss, and I was amazed to see one. But I just thought that it was exclusive for invited people and that getting in outside the museum. It was interesting seeing more inside and it never failed my expectations. Everything was neatly organized; the displays were placed to specific sections, and of course, everything came with the information about the item that would help the visitors learn more about it. It was a really great experience, exploring and discovering the different fragments and artifacts from history all in one place. I would really like to visit the museum again and recommend this to my friends soon.

A lot of stuff made the museum tour interesting, aside from the photos of native filipinos, the animals were very nice to look at to.

Since the museum is funded by the University of San Carlos, the museum does not require a fee for visitors, students and tourists alike. That is one of the few good things about the museum. Another good thing to note is how informative each description block beside an artifact is.
During my visit, I was given a map. And the map was supposedly a guide for the visitor. There were different exhibits presented on the map, and I wasn't really able to use the map since I just went in to see all the artifacts and items in the museum. One thing was that I had a hard time locating the exhibits as they weren't really indicated by a sign. However I did find them later on based off the display of items.
I found the artifacts to be in good condition, and how information was presented was also satisfactory. The exhibits were also quite interesting, especially the animal exhibits because of how the animals or species were preserved or presented. I also found that the museum was quite lacking, but considering that it was funded by the school (maybe through donations and such), it is good overall. A tour wasn't required since the museum is quite small, and we weren't accommodated instantly when we arrived. The museum was clean and organized at least and that is what makes my visit satisfactory.
