Years back city hall moved out to Santa Monica and the museum is in the old city hall. It includes two floors and is worth the few peso entrance fee. The old pottery and artifacts are displayed in a way that allows you experience the history of this island in a simple and straight forward way. If you are downtown... More

Nice place to visit, though not a regular part of the tour itinerary. Its very informative and gave me more information about the province. nicely maintained by the provincial government. not easily accessible, though.

i liked that they had a museum that had good content unlike other museums in other towns that had nothing. i appreciated the attempt to share palawan's history, it's culture and geography. it was good place for me to kill time as i was waiting for a meeting to start. what's good about it is that it's in a prime...

you will learn a lot about the palawan, its history and its people. lots of marines corals and artifacts. however, the place is so small but it is clean. you will see the alphabet used by tagbanwas, one of the tribes in Palawan.

The items on display are 'interesting', but in honesty the place needs some serious investment. If you're VERY bored....give it a try.

This place had the most unfriendly staff encountered on Palawan (I want your money but I don't like you attitude). Displays are static and poorly done. Many of the display cases were broken or cracked. All in all don't bother.

Interesting rather than exiting. Not bad for a provincial museum. Worth a visit, not a rip off.
