Archdiocesan Museum of Cebu is the only ecclesiastical museum in the country that is completely housed in a Spanish-era rectory restored for use as a museum. It was formerly used as a convent for priests of the Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral until the 1980’s.
Built in the mid-1800s, the structure is a fine example of an arquitectura mestiza made of coral stoneblocks, timber and clay roof tiles. The museum was opened in 2006 to serve as an instrument for Christian evangelization through its exhibits and events.
