The Museum of Three Cultures holds very well displayed artifacts and photographs of the region's history. It is smaller than expected but does a good job covering the basics of Mindanao, Cagayan de Oro City and Marawi City heritage.
My guide was very knowledgeable and pleasant. She knew all of the displays well. She also recommended the art gallery located down the hall, but I did not have time to go there. I hope to return, as General MacArthur once famously said when he visited Cagayan de Oro.

This museum is part of Capital University. It has some interesting artifacts and is a nice venue in general, but many of the displays lack labels of identification and explanation. The giant 300 year old ceremonial sword is quite spectacular and was a gift from a sultan. Some of the pieces are replicas (such as the sultan’s bed) custom made for the remarkable late Madame Laureana San Pedro Rosales who founded the university and collected most of the items now on display. There was a knowledgeable and friendly student guide, however, with the lack of labelling, one can not readily tell which are genuine and which are replicas, a serious shortcoming of a museum in my opinion. Nevertheless, in a country woefully short of cultural and historical preservation, the museum is a gallant effort and a pleasant outing.

Located at the Capitol University. Just tell the person-in-charge at the gate that you are visiting their museum and they would show you the way. We paid 50 pesos for the entrance fee. They have a room all about the owner of the school, room for art exhibits and the main, interesting room for their collections. The artifacts were personally collected by the owner and it's really interesting (visit the place to know why). Our guide was really knowledgeable about the artifacts that made the tour extra special.

Museum is amazing, they have mannequins wearing muslim and bukidnons tribal wear. You will be amazed knowing that old settlers of the city wears and used those things.

For an entrance fee of P50/person you can enter the Museum of Three Cultures. The museum is located inside Capitol University. There are a lot of ancient artifacts inside the museum which include among others, pottery from China, ancient swords and other weapons, musical instruments, etc.
Go visit this place when you're in CDO.

The Capitol University Museum of Three Cultures features historical mementos and story guides of Mindanao as a whole, and Cagayan de Oro in particular. Must-see: the ancient Muslim artifacts and native Bukidnon tribes' exhibit. The museum also has an area for "traveling exhibits" from all over the world.

We visited this museum since it is just across our hotel.
Well, the cultures they speak of I'm not really sure. But I've seen Maranao and Hispanic displays. Anyways, it showcases different artifacts and tells the local history. From the native pre-Hispanic settlers, the Marano & Islam culture and some stories of Spanish influence.
What surprised me was their collection of Islam articles. The accommodating staff said it was donated by a datu so these items were authentic. Probably because it's my first time to see these items, but I am surprised by the huge size of their weapons. It's so huge I imagine only a giant can hold these.
At the later part, there was a display of soil paintings. These were really good art. There is also a souvenir shop at the end.

Are there public transportation if I am coming from Hotel Xentro and what are your operating times ?
