Crisologo Museum

Crisologo Musuem also known as:
Vigan House, Crisologo House and Memorabilia,
and the Vigan National Museum Branch
It is open from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday to Saturday

The museum used to be the residence of Floro “Flor” Crisologo and his family. The Crisologo clan is one of the principal families of Vigan and Flor Crisologo was a congressman who worked towards the ratification of the Tobacco Law and the establishment of the Social Security System. On October 18, 1970, Crisologo was standing in a communion line in the Vigan Cathedral when a lone gunman entered and shot him in the head. The assassin escaped during the panic that ensued and the murder remains unsolved to this day, but it is generally believed to have been politically motivated.

In memory of Crisologo, his family turned his ancestral home into a museum which maintains the statesman’s memorabilia.
