Iloilo has always prided itself in the rich cultural heritage that helped shape the province from its humble beginnings to the thriving and progressive community it is today, and this same heritage has been carefully and vigorously preserved by Museo Iloilo, the repository of the province's history.

Museo Iloilo is located on Bonifacio Drive, Iloilo City 5000 Iloilo, Western Visayas. It is a public foundation currently managed by the Iloilo Cultural Research Foundation, Inc. and it aims to maintain and develop cultural education, research and tourism through safeguarding and displays of Western Visayas native culture and history.
