August 29, 2007 – Negros Museum Bacolod City
On my 5th day in Bacolod, Julz brought me to the Negros Museum. The musuem wasn’t that busy that day. The museum tour guide brought us to the past and present of Negros History.

Negros Occidental’s provincial museum, the Negros Museum opened on March 16, 1996. Negros Museum was the former Provincial Capitol building where the past governors of Negros Occidental held office until the early 1970’s. For a time it housed the Hall of Justice until it was finally abandonned and fell into a state of disrepair. In 1992 during the term of Gov. Daniel L. Lacson, it was turned over to the Negros Cultural Foundation. This building was considered by the late National Artist for Architecture, Leandro V. Locsin, as the most beautiful capitol building in the Philippines because of it’s fine symmetry and proportion.

The museum is located at the rear part(Capitol extension) of the Provincial Capitol.
