Negros Museum
A provincial museum in the former Provincial Capitol building, telling the story of Negros Island's sugar economy and history, with toys and MassKara mask displays.
The Negros Museum is housed in the neoclassical former Provincial Capitol building, completed in 1925. Its permanent exhibition traces the history of Negros Island, from the pre-colonial period and the Spanish sugar plantation economy to the present day. It displays antique sugarcane presses, models of sugar trains, and plantation household items, along with a collection of Filipino folk toys and a MassKara mask gallery. Tickets cost about 100 to 150 pesos. The museum is generally open from about 9:00 to 17:00 and closed on Sundays. Check the official website for current hours. It is on the north side of Capitol Park, making it easy to combine with a visit to the park, and the café inside is quiet.
