Long Weekend locos Roadtrip at Crisologo Museum

Crisologo Museum

After our visit at the Baluarte we then went to Crisologo Museum along Delos Reyes Street, Vigan City. 

Entrance

There are a number of museums in Vigan but this was the only one included in the Ventours itinerary. Still wondering why, perhaps because there was no entrance fee though the caretaker asked for any amount of donation for the maintenance of the place and take note that it was shouldered by the guests not the travel agency.

First Floor

Crisologo Museum is a two-storey ancestral house turned into a museum. Owned by Floro S. Crisologo who was a former congressman of Ilocos Sur, he authored the law behind the creation of the Social Security System. 

Floro Crisologo

So why is this place worth visiting? His death was said to be very controversial. He was shot in the head by an unidentified gunman and his murder is still unsolved until today. You can even see here the clothes he wore when he was killed.

Office

The moment I entered the museum, it gave me a discomfort feeling, it's eerie and mysterious maybe because of its drastic past. Also the museum has interesting pieces of antique collections like books, hats, cars and furniture pieces which can give you a glimpse of what the past must have looked like.

Located in the first floor is the library, here you can see a wide collection of old books, no doubt that the Crisologo's love reading.
