The Crisologo Museum is a captivating historical landmark situated in the ancestral residence of the Crisologo family—one of the most influential political dynasties in the region.
This museum was once the home of Congressman Floro S. Crisologo and Governor Carmeling Pichay Crisologo, a prominent couple of political leaders who significantly contributed to Ilocos Sur’s development, including the establishment of the University of Northern Philippines.
The ancestral house, a beautifully preserved example of Spanish colonial architecture, has been transformed into a museum offering a glimpse into the lifestyle of elite families during that period.
The exhibits within the museum provide insight into the prominent political family’s life and the socio-political history of the region. Its extensive collection features personal memorabilia from the Crisologo family, antique furnishings and religious artifacts, political documents, historical photographs, and vintage automobiles.
Conveniently located just a short stroll from Vigan Cathedral, it serves as an easy addition to any heritage tour of the city.
