Inside you can see exhibits related to the religious life of the city and the islands, many of which have survived from the time of the Spanish colonial period.

The museum is located next to the Cathedral of Cebu and close to the Basilica of Santo Niño. Its collections are housed in a small building, which itself has historical value - it was built in the early 19th century, when the Bishop of Cebu was Santos Gomez Marañon. This, incidentally, one of the few buildings in the center of Cebu, fully survived the Second World War. Interestingly, Bishop Marañón was also initiated the construction of the churches in the cities of Oslob and Naga, Cebu Bishop's Palace in front of the museum, the bell tower in the town and monastery in Argan Sibonge.

Originally, the museum was located in the building of the monastery parish, then from the University of San Carlos, a cooperative store, and even a chapel until the cathedral was closed for restoration. Today in the museum you can see a small chapel, which has become an exhibition hall for the collection of the parish town of Carmen - You can see the tabernacles (cupboards in the wall of the altar to store objects of worship) and ancient shrine with silver engraving. This chapel is also often used for special exhibitions.

Along the stairs leading to the upper floors housed several galleries. One photographs and illustrations of how to spread Catholicism on the island of Cebu. In other stored personal belongings Cardinal Ricardo Vidal, who once served as a parish priest of the Cathedral of Cebu - his prayer books, notebooks and cardinal ring Vidal transferred his predecessor Julio Rosales. In the third gallery, you can see how to build the church in the days of the Spanish colonization of the island. Another gallery stores under its arches, a collection of statues of saints from various parishes, including a statue of St. Joseph on his deathbed. Finally, the fifth gallery - a model of the room of the priest.

Soon the building of the museum is planned to arrange a patio, which will house a small coffee shop and souvenir shop, and will be around a garden.
