Rock and Mineral Museum, Mindanao, Philippines

more lights pls...
from the heart of the city, it is about a kilometer to find this museum. Maintained by the Bureau of Mines and Geology, it showcase all the rocks and minerals found in the whole region of CARAGA. It has quite a few of its array of mineral rocks, but fine enough to see what are the existing and potential mineral elements found in the area. One suggestion: they should lighten up more the museum as some areas are so dark that it gives a creepy feeling....

Unique Private Museum in the Philuppines
Visited Jan 13, 2015. No sign from the outside, blown away by the last strong typhoon. It is very near the port terminal end of the Blvd. It is a private collection of a family. Many old saint statues. Some earthern jars-banga. A big bell in the middle. Big part of the display is a collection of mineral stones from Surigao. A lot of chromite examples which are mined in the province. There are some World War II relics. Worth the P/25 entrance.
