Assumption Iloilo is one of the few schools in Iloilo that maintain a museum. Though it's not open every day, but one can get a glimpse of what's inside during special school occasions such as its Foundation Day or on Assumption Day every 15th of August.
The museum showcases the rich history and tradition of Assumption Iloilo throughout its more than 100 years of existence. It contains religious icons, ornately-designed candelabra, old priestly-robes, school documents and photographs, and a lot more!
Assumption Iloilo Museum is located on the second floor of the main building. From the information counter, there are two stairs that lead to the museum. From the main door, it stretches until the area near the school chapel.
Actually, I have been to the museum twice already, but every time I go there, I feel something different. Maybe it's the history buff in me that was at work, but any how, it's always a special experience seeing history in all its physical manifestations. It's just surreal!
As an educator, museums are dear to me. Going to these places can bring what is taught in schools to life. They provide a unique interactive experience of getting up close to things we usually only see in books, newspapers, or on the television.
