There is a Biological Museum and Butterfly Museum inside the Talamban campus of University of San Carlos (USC). I’ve heard about this place from friends who posted photos of the museum on Facebook.
The butterfly museum is dedicated to the study and preservation of butterflies. The museum features exhibits that showcase the diverse species of butterflies found around the world, their natural habitats, and their life cycles.
The Biological Museum and Butterfly Museum is not huge, but it does have interesting exhibits. It provides an opportunity for people to learn more about these fascinating creatures and appreciate their beauty and importance in the ecosystem.
What are the visiting hours?
It is open everyday from 8 AM to 11 AM and then 1 PM to 4 PM.
How long will it take to see the museum?
You need an hour. If you skip reading all the labels of the exhibits, then you may only need 30 minutes or so.
What is the admission fee?
This is a free museum! There is no cost to visit and see the exhibits.
Where is it located?
It is inside the University of San Carlos Talamban, Campus. You need to enter the university premises through any of the guarded gates. Tell the guard that you need to visit the museum. Bring your ID, as you need to leave one at the entrance gate.
The museum is housed in one of the rooms of the huge university library up the hill. So be prepared to do some walking.
What can you see inside the museum?
Here are some photos I took.
