There are definitely larger, older and more established museums than this, but the nice lady guide made it worthwhile. She patiently explained what we were looking at, considering it was our first time in Davao.

Museum guide very helpful and accommodating. Space quite small though for the Davao history collection. Small literature for tourists would have been of help though.

this museum focuses on the ethnic history and religion colonization by the Portuguese, Spaniards and Americans until their independence to the present day. museum has a rich selection of art from today's local artists. guiding takes about 1 hour, is completely free and is absolutely worth a visit.
