Syquia Mansion Museum
About This Museum
Stepping through the heavy wooden doors of the Syquia Mansion Museum is like walking directly into the late 19th century. This isn't a sterile gallery; it's a lived-in home, where the polished narra floors creak underfoot and the air feels thick with stories. The sheer opulence of the place is immediate, from grand receiving halls to intimate family quarters, all meticulously preserved. You can almost hear the rustle of silk skirts and the murmur of conversations from a bygone era.
Collection Highlights
The true highlight is President Elpidio Quirino's bedroom, left exactly as it was, right down to his personal effects on the nightstand. Don't miss the stunning collection of vintage Santo Niño icons in one cabinet or the massive four-poster beds draped in delicate piña fabric that dominate the bedrooms.
Visitor Information
You'll find it right on Quirino Boulevard in Vigan City—it's hard to miss that majestic stone facade. Just check local opening hours as they can be seasonal; it's a wonderfully immersive stop after a calesa ride through the historic streets.
Architecture & Building
A quintessential example of a Bahay na Bato, or 'House of Stone', with its formidable ground-level stone walls and an airy, ventanilla-lined wooden upper story designed for tropical living.
