Museo Sugbo

Museo Sugbo The Official page of Museo Sugbo
(Cebu Provincial Museum) The museum opened its first four galleries on August 5, 2008.

Museo Sugbo is Cebu’s provincial museum, housed in the former Cárcel de Cebú—once the main prison for the Visayas. Designed by Spanish architect Domingo de Escondrillas in 1869, the building served as the Cebu Provincial Jail during the American and post-war periods, and was later renamed the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center (CPDRC) in the 1980s. After CPDRC relocated to a more

modern facility in 2004, the historic site was transformed into Museo Sugbo—a vibrant home for Cebuano heritage. Following a two-year hiatus, Museo Sugbo proudly reopened its doors on August 28, 2025—renewed in spirit and more committed than ever to celebrating Cebu’s rich history.
