Museo Sugbo is the Cebu Provincial Museum which was once called the Cárcel de Cebú . Designed in 1869 by Domingo de Escondrillas, Cárcel de Cebú was then built using coral stone blocks at around 1871 to house spanish prisoners.

Cárcel de Cebú continued to do it's function as a prison until 2004, and was then renovated and turned into a Museum partly because of it's history.

What's in there?

Hmmm... Basicly almost everything of what Cebu once was from the Pre-Spanish era up to the Japanese occupation.

- The place and the things you see there is like a time machine where you can take a peek at the past and the things early Cebuanos use and do...






What are you waiting for? 


Head down there now! 


































Getting ready

Just bring yourself, a camera and a bottled water, and you are good to go...






How to get there  

Museo Sugbo is located at M.J Cuenco Avenue Cebu, City. The place is part of the downtown area, which can easily be accessed using Jeepneys.

Depending on where you are starting from around the City, take a jeepney going to Colon St. Once you are in colon, take a jeepney that's gonna be passing through M.J Cuenco Avenue. Majority of these Jeepneys are the ones going to Mabolo.

Cebu Jeepneys are numbered differently based from the routes they take, so here are the most convenient Jeepneys with numbers to take:

03 A Mabolo
03 B Mabolo
03 C Mabolo
03 D Mabolo
03 G Mabolo

Jeepney Fare  = Php 7.50

Taxi Fare        = Php 80.00 + -  ( Depending on which part of the city you are coming from)
