crisologo museum

The old lady who takes care of the museum isn't really nice. And we weren't allowed to enter unless we make a donation. A forceful donation. She didn't even toured us.The visit was okay just be careful with the stairs I was afraid that anytime soon it will fall.You will be sent back to the past when you see their muebles. I liked the wooden refrigerator it was interesting and one can see how affluent this family.Overall, it could have been 3 stars if not for the present photos of the 4th generation Crisologo's who haughts their us degree diplomas.

Be real careful going up the stairs and the floor boards one of the most boring and run down places I've ever seen traveling the world. Vigan is a wonderful place but this certainly doesn't help it in any way

It was really nice to get to know a little more about our people's history. This is definitely a nice place to visit for tourists and even locals. There's also a tour guide to show you around and answer any questions. The stories they tell are really interesting. Price is also cheap so don't worry too much if this ends up not being your cup of tea.

fabulously interesting as the former jailhouse which still has signage on the walls about drug use and conjugal visits. Even the toilet facilities are built into the old cells. Great history with narratives of the region and some great original photographs. No entry fee but donation optional.

This street will take you back to the old century and history of the country. Spaniards rules and style of life can be seen and feel Crisologo Street.I am happy to visit and taste the traditional foods and see the culture of the filipinos. For sure I will be back again.Beautiful...filipino language said "nag-pintas"

Among those family owned museums in Vigan, this museum contains largest preserved personal collection and memorabilia.By mere donation, we were able to tour around the ancestral home turned into museum. The guide led us into different parts of the house and relayed important information about the members of the Crisologo family, their political history and the unforgettable events that transpired through the years. You'll be fascinated with the old books, furniture, appliances (like the fridge and oven) and other assorted personal items used by the family that some are still usable but majority are for exhibits only. You'll be saddened with the tragic stories that ended the lives of the Crisologos. Anything associated with their lives are still there like the vehicle used when one of the members of the family was ambushed. The old Calesa is also on display. According to the guide, this calesa was used during the filming of the movie "Rizal" which local actor Cesar Montano starred as Jose Rizal. There are so many things to see and to discover within the museum. Don't miss this when you are in Vigan! Perfect time to visit is during 1:00 to 4:00 pm! The guide are very informative and very accommodating.The museum is easy to locate since it is within city proper.

This is the house of the elder Crisologos so if you are interested in Vigan politics or the Crisologo political clan, then you would like the place. Aside from the family memorabilia though, the house is a bit sad. So if you are on a tight schedule and you just want a glimpse of how the rich lived during that time, you can give this a skip. Syquia Mansion is more grandiose and depicts the privileged lifestyle of that bygone era better. The caretakers are nice though and would gladly regale you with family stories upon family stories.

Definitely go to this mansion and be amazed with the history it has to offer!Vigan is such a wonderful place. It takes you back in time. Everything is preserved well

The Crisologo museum is the house of Floro Crisologo. Ilocos congressman that was gunned down in St. William Cathedral in 1969. Has a lot of history . We were entertained well by the receptionist and shared a lot of stories about the Crisologo Clan. Got to see the old car where Mrs Crisologo was ambushed while pregnant with his son "Bullet". This museum's entrance fee is on donation basis only. But they do have a nice toilet for museum guest.

I enjoyed making short clips epsc at kitchen area where you can see old as in old stuff like their fridge back in old days (wood).I was fascinated how they must have lived back in those days. I'm sure they're pretty rich.

The museum was well maintained. We got to see the things that was used of old ways of living. We had a glimpsed about the WWII and the Marcos time.

Well preserved and restored. I hope it stays this way for many years to come. I hope to bring my parents here.

We probably didn't visit at the best time, right after the typhoon so there was no power. It closes in the middle of the day too, so we had to plan our day around this visit. We didn't know what we were looking at a lot of the time and our 'guide' was a young girl who followed us around and didn't explain a thing. Entrance is by donation though so it wasn't as if we were ripped off.

My mom and I visited this place because our hotel receptionist said it was nice to visit this museum because the Crisologo Family was then he powerful people in Ilocos. As we enter the museum, we were greeted by the museum tour guide with their sweetest smiles. As we go on with the tour, My mom doesnt want to enter the law office or where the clothes of the assasinated governor crisologo ia located. But I insisted her to enter but as we go on the cabinet where the pants location is, my mom got chills all over her body. And we decided to go out and she let herself stay outside and I continued the tour on the 2nd floor. You can see the things that the family used in the house. I admire that they preserved everything.

Very rich collection of Crisologo memorabilia, this museum is the most interesting of all in Vigan. It showcases the grandiose lifestyle of the Crisologos of the past and depicts a colorful presentation of Ilocos Sur's politics, magnificently preserved and protected inside this historic colonial residence. It's like a book with colorful pages.Ironically, this museum can be found at Liberation Boulevard, a few meters away from Vigan Heritage Mansion of Chavit Singson which stands right at the corner of Liberation and Crisologo Streets.
