Excavation Museum

Overview

One of the top places to visit when in Puerto Galera is the Excavation Museum. Situated near the Town Hall, on the grounds of a church, this museum is a must-visit for those interested in learning about the history of the island. The museum houses a variety of artifacts and relics dating from different eras, and taken from excavations throughout the region. There is even a collection of items that are over a thousand years old and originated from the Ming dynasty. Visitors will come across numerous fascinating items ranging from vintage pictures and Chinese vases to ancient swords, Chinese porcelain, lamps, jars, underwater images and so much more. Some of the priceless items found here were obtained taken from sunken merchant vessels.

Prayer Facilities

Muslim visitors to the Excavation Museum will not be able to find prayer facilities within its premises. They will also not be able to locate a mosque in Puerto Galero. Muslim tourists will therefore have to offer their prayers in their hotel rooms, or outdoors, if able to find a clean and quiet place.

Halal Food

The Excavation Museum is quite small and therefore visitors will not be able to find any food outlets here. Puerto Galera has a number of great restaurants, especially ones serving fresh seafood dishes, Muslim tourists can therefore dine at these establishments after making sure that non-Halal ingredients are not used in the dishes.
