It offers an interesting insight into Bohol’s post and Pre-Spanish history.The Museum is well worth visiting.

What to explore at Bohol National Museum?
Inside the Bohol Museum, there is a dioramic explanation of how the Chocolate Hills were formed. Besides that, there are also explanations for how the island of Bohol came to be what it is now and how the island’s life has developed throughout the many years.
There are also models of Churches all around the province, pictures and remnants of historic and ancient artifacts like skulls, jars and a diorama of an old cave that was made into a home by the people of Bohol. Although there are probably so many other things you can do in Bohol, if you have time and would like to settle on really learning about the past of this beautiful province, visit Tagbilaran City and walk the leisurely atmosphere of the capital city of Bohol.

Reviews
Museums are among my favorite places. It speaks a lot of the place's history, culture, traditions, and ancient technology. It excited me to know there's one in the City of Tagbilaran, and so we paid a visit. I was touched by the staff's sincerity - including the guard - trying to explain to us the displays. They even tried to recall the common names of the bird in Boholano and Tagalog. They were sorry that there were no labels. As I went around and made a closer look at each piece in the museum, I was silently wishing that there be captions, explanations, background of each piece... some had, most had nothing. It was good to see paintings of local heroes but wished there were more writings and stories about them. I am hoping that the government would invest to improve the place - and all the other museums nationwide.
