Davao Museum of History and Ethnography

This museum is a gem. Very well put together and the displays are well done. The ethic textiles and fishing implements are outstanding. The art by native artists are second to none. Great museum and the surrounding park is shaded and cool.

A quite interesting museum to visit. It was nice to learn more about the culture, and they have done a fine job dispaying things as well of describing the different things displayed. There were not a lot of guests when we visited the museum, but it was nice simply to browse and experience the past of Davao

Our family went here as part of our davo experience, The meuseum itself is located inside the subdivision and it looks like a private collection of artifacts and history or Davao which is very good and informative for kids and adults as well. I highly recommend it if you plan to visit and haev a glimpse of Davao's history, you will spend 1hr Max for the visit. The place is Airconditioned and there is a CR inside, there is an entrance fee but not that high. There is no food or food stand near so I suggest you eat elsewhere. I Highly recommend this place.

What a unique place here in Davao City! I recommend if you’re looking for something to do while here in Davao City that you make a stop at this museum. It has a wonderful history of Mindanao and the city! I found it very interesting to follow the history of Mindanao. I didn’t know that the history went back so far!

Went today, October 18, 2025, Saturday, and it says it’s open on Google but it’s suddenly closed. It takes long to get here so I honestly wouldn’t recommend to go here unless you’re nearby due to the uncertainty of it being open or closed.

I got our little trinkets of souvenir here. I fell in love more on our malongs. The collection here is so pretty and makes me feel more proud of the Philippine heritage. Side note - admission fee is 100 pesos when we visited. The museum is located in the subdivision. Don't worry, the guards are helpful and nice so you won't get lost.

Quaint little museum. Interesting collection of artworks and photos about Victorio Edades. Although I can't imagine tourists knowing about the museum considering that it's located inside a gated village. A must-visit if you're curious to see a different take on the different indigenous tribes of Davao.

The museum has a lot of marquees to read about the rich history of Davao, and the artifacts are not just described but are given contexts--where they came from and how they were relevant to how Davao came to be.
