It was an interesting experience. Although the space was small, the lady took her time sharing the stories behind the artifacts chronologically and the city of Vigan. It’s a bit confusing on the outside if it’s open or not as it’s still covered. But overall, it’s a must to visit this!

The entrance fee is good if you're a student or pwd. The tour guide is very knowledgeable of the history and architecture of the house. It is not as well preserved like the best museum exhibits are, but I think it gives the place that touch of authenticity. This is a must visit if you like old Spanish colonial era houses! Ask for the tour at the front desk for the best experience.

Rich history and rich owners! Lol! I wish there was a tour guide to provide more stories and explanation. But, it's great how they preserved their things in the house. The carvings on the furniture are intricate. The house is really big. It made me imagine how people lived in the olden times. :)

The mansion provides you with a rich history of Vigan, President Quirino and and the Philippines in general. The staff in the ground floor can tour you through the house and will tell you interesting insights and things you would not read anywhere else. So I would highly recommend to do a tour with them.
A lot of furniture is still original and creates this cozy historical feeling and let's you immerse in the living conditions of the family back in the day.

The museum is closed. It seems like it will take a long time before it opens again.

Entrance fee is php100 for adults and php40 for kids, seniors and pwd. This mansion is privately owned thus the fee is for its maintenance. There's an assigned local guide to show you around and share the history of the family, the house and items in it. Good to learn history in actual places which were only thought in textbooks and inside classrooms.
