The Jesuit House stands as a silent testament to the rich and complex history of Cebu and the Philippines as a whole. The Jesuit House has journeyed through centuries carrying silent witness to the unfolding of Philippine history. According to the museum staff the house served as a rest house for Jesuit priest's offering them a sanctuary amidst their rigorous missionary work.
As time went by the house found itself repurposed as a warehouse for a family who ran a hardware business. But the owner seeing beyond the dust and artifacts of the house recognized the historical value of the house, and he decided to convert it into a museum to unveil its rich past to the world.
