Museo Dabawenyo

I love our visit — as a Duterte family supporter, it warms my heart to see how they remember him as a former President. 🇵🇭 I really appreciate the displays and the effort they put into preserving Davao’s rich history here at Museo Dabawenyo. From the traditional artifacts, old photographs, and historical memorabilia, to exhibits that showcase Davao’s journey through time — everything is well-curated and worth seeing! A must-visit for anyone who wants to learn more about the culture, people, and history of Davao City. ❤️ It’s Free too! No entrance fee!

There are plenty of exhibits that highlight Davao’s culture and history, and it was nice to go around and take it all in. The staff are friendly and accommodating which made the experience even better. It is a good place to learn more about the city’s heritage and definitely worth a visit if you are in Davao.

It was interesting but the museum is so freaking small. It is just one room, but still I enjoyed it. It is nice that it is free!

Temporary davao museum with informative, amiable staff. Hopefully the bigger, permanent building will be established soon.

This Museum was previously located in a Old Structure. It moved to a newer building, and smaller too. Exhibit is only at the 1st floor. You can finish with this stop in just 5 minutes or less, unless you would stare at each item for a minute which will take you around 50 minutes. The Lady at the Museum if you can call it a museum said that they will be moving to another place. Hope it will be better than this. Staff here are friendly though.

Museo Dabawenyo Review Rating: ★★★★☆ We had an enjoyable and educational visit to Museo Dabawenyo. The highlight of our experience was the guide—she explained Davao’s history so spontaneously and clearly that we could truly picture how the city evolved over time. Her storytelling made the tour engaging and informative. The only downside is that the museum is currently in a temporary building, which makes the space feel a bit crowded. However, despite the limited space, we were entertained and learned a lot thanks to the excellent guide. Definitely worth a visit for anyone interested in Davao’s rich history!
