xavier museum

Located inside one of the prestigious schools in Cagayan de Oro City, Museo de Oro has been built to hold the greatest treasures of the city. The museum features some remnants of the pre-colonial settlers that lived in the caves of Cagayan de Oro, e.g. the Huluga Cave. In order to enter the facility, visitors should pay an entrance fee of 50 pesos for adults and 20 pesos for students. Just go to Xavier University (Ateneo de Cagayan) and ask for the directions.

When you enter Xavier University, you can ask the guard directions to Museo de Oro or you can check on the map they have at the entrance. The museum has a fee for maintenance and it's P50 for adults and P20 for students. The first two floors of the building have completed their set up for the exhibits. There are two sets on the first floor and another two on the second. Very interesting and much better if someone shows you around to explain the exhibits. I had Jaycee (I think his name was) who helped explain the where they got their stuff and how they got to where they are now. Very knowledgeable in anthropology, too. :)

It was so informative regarding the history of Mindanao and Cagayan de Oro. I loved that museum. If you love history and anthropology, this small museum can really deliver. Entrance is 50. Just dont wear short shorts because you wont be allowed to enter the university.

It's a pretty nice museum to learn about the history of CDO. They have student guides available who can show you around the exhibits. They speak excellent English, Filipino or Bisaya depending on your preference. Entrance costs 20 pesos for students and 50 pesos for adults. It's inside Xavier University (Ateneo de Cagayan), and so you need to bring an ID to leave with the guard at the entrance. As with most museums, I believe pants is a must to be granted admission. Xavier University is right in front of Divisoria, so you can easily explore CDO's interesting food sights right after!

If you have an interest in history, then this museum is well worth a visit. There is not a sign on the street to show the location of the museum, but just go to the entrance of Xavier University and the guard will direct you to the museum. The museum is setup in chronological order for the CDO area. There is a nice presentation of artifacts found in the area and artist interpretations of how the CDO area has evolved over the centuries. Since there are well written articles, It is easy to do a self-guided tour, but the day I was there I had a very good guide. He was a graduate of Xavier and gave a very informative tour. The museum is very well-kept and has good lighting and it was nice and cool, so you can enjoy it even on a hot day. In the upstairs, they had an art display, but I understand this is a changing display. I think you will enjoy a visit here!

Das wahre Museum der Stadt, wenngleich auch nicht einfach zu besuchen, da es am Campus eingebettet ist und die Securities zuerst keinen Einlaß gewähren wollten. Nach Einlaß erhielten wir jedoch eine persönliche Führung. Man ist wirklich bemüht, die Geschichte CDO und Mindanaos zu präsentieren

Auf drei Stockwerken in mehreren Zimmern und kleinen Hallen sind viele Dinge zusammengetragen. Teils haben die Artefakte historischen Bezug. Fuer den geringen Eintritspreis lohnt es sich allemal hier etwa 2 Stunden zu verbringen. Mit etwas Glueck, findet sich jemand vom Personal bereit einige hilfreiche Erklaerungen zu den wichtigsten Ausstellungsstuecken zu geben. Das Museum hat den Charakter eines Heimatmuseums wie sie in vielen Deutschen Staedten zu finden sind. Fotografieren ist nicht erlaubt!
