Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao Museum
About This Museum
Tucked away within the ARMM Compound in Cotabato City, this museum was a quiet sanctuary dedicated to the rich, often overlooked cultures of the Bangsamoro people. It felt less like a formal institution and more like walking through a family's cherished archive. You'd find everything from heirloom textiles and weaponry to everyday tools, each piece telling a story of resilience and artistry. It provided a profound, intimate look into the soul of Muslim Mindanao.
Collection Highlights
Look for the intricate okir-carved chests, vibrant inaul woven textiles in dazzling patterns, and an impressive array of antique brassware and weaponry that speaks to a martial history.
