CAGSAWA BRANCH MUSEUM
Brief History
Situated in the province of Albay where the majestic Mayon Volcano stands, the branch museum in Barangay Busay, Cagsawa, Daraga sits on the lot donated by the municipality to the National Museum on January 26, 1981. This is through the benevolence of Mr. Severino Listana, a civic-spirited resident who donated the lot to the municipality to house the cultural heritage of Region V. The museum is the third largest regional branch in terms of area and physical structures, and could be considered a major tourist destination of the province. Its formal inauguration took place on October 30, 1992.
