Museo Sugbo ... is the Cebu Provincial Museum , located in the former Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center ( Prison )
This Cebu City Historical Museum , is found over a kilometre up the same road , from Plaza Independencia
The historical prison , now museum was built from coral stone ... some of this stone is from a demolished church , in the late 1870
A few of this museums collection are :-
• The Pre-Colonial Gallery
• The Spanish Colonial Gallery
• The Katipunan Revolution and the American Colonial Gallery
• The War Memorial Gallery
• The Museum of Philippine Political History
The Prison housed not only criminals in its 135 year history - from 1870 to 2004.
* During the revolution many of the Katipuneros ( revolutionist against Spanish Rule ) were incarcerated here without trial & many of them were eventually executed in nearby Carreta cemetery
* During the Japanese occupation WW2 , guerrillas were imprisoned here , after enduring torture under the hands of the Kempeitai ( the Japanese secret police )
* After the war , many of the collaborators in Cebu were also imprisoned here
Was offered self tour ... thanks for the offer , as this was my second time to this Cebu Museum

I love this place, Campbar San fernando.
This museum's entrance is free of charge while the galleries are mostly air-conditioned, which made the whole visit very comfortable.
Moreover, the staffs are very friendly, it well represent how the locals welcomed the tourists.
The content of the building inclusive the history of Cebu, the ancient living, the transaction of politics by generation, paintings, architecture, and all kind of antiques that covered the period of pre-colonial's tradings.
The very rich collections is a must for one that want to understand Cebu's history in details.
There is a little gift shop selling unique handmade stuffs in quite reasonable price.
Overall, it is a very nice museum, friendly people, comfortable place to pay a visit.
That is very nice and historical value museum. However, when you come to visit there, you should very carefully look around because the kids and homeless. Besides, the bikes and scooters run so fast and someones can rob or steal somethings from the tourists. One more, you always bring the umbrella because the weather change immediately here.
