I happened to be with my daughter's educational trip to the D'Bone Collector Museum and I was delighted to see different collections of bones, skulls, and skeletons.
An American Darell Dean Blatchley, the president and curator of the museum started out about 150 specimens in 2012 and now it houses over 700 specimens. He is also a very funny guy who speaks bisaya fluently, toured us around and passionately told us stories bind in each collection.
Among those being displayed are a 41-foot long sperm whale. Bones and skeletons of snakes, tarsier, birds, domesticated animals, sea turtles, various fish species, different sizes of the mouths of sharks, butterflies, insects and a lot more.
The museum will not only serve as amusement specially for our young ones but also raise awareness towards caring for the environment.
So if you want to unwind with your children or touring your visitors to Davao, don't forget to drop by to D'Bone Collector Museum located at San Pedro St. (going to Bucana). The museum is open during Mondays to Fridays. Entrance fee is 80 pesos.
TIME
We are born with certain amount
We die when it runs out
Rich or poor it doesn't matter
You don't "Kill time" time kills you
Now is your most important time
What you do with your time
will affect you eternally
Time's up! Forever begins.
- Darell D. Blatchley
Ako si Shang..tara sa Dabaw ta bai!
