Overview

The Guimaras Provincial Monument and Museum was built in 2006 by then Governor Juan Carlos Rahman A. Nava, MD, now incumbent Congressman of the Lone District of Guimaras. The structure serves as a landmark for the people of the province as well as a museum for the memorabilia of the Pagtaltal sa Balaan Bukid, among others.

It is a one-story building with accessible rooftops on both sides of the rooms and another on top of the main hall. Atop the building is a monument: a sculpture of a man with fishing tool and a plow. This symbolizes the main livelihood of many Guimarasnons, farmers during the planting season and fishermen during the off-planting season. Inside is an exhibit area of 12x20 meters with multi-purpose rooms at the sides. The designer is Architect Hermecito Gotera.
