The Sulu Museum is a two-story building that houses the relics, documents, paintings, and other historical memorabilia of Sulu. Previously, this building housed the Library of Sulu. What's interesting inside are the Chinese wares and documents, such as the 1878 Land Lease Agreement between the Sultanate of Sulu and British North Borneo Chartered Co. The Photo above is some of the works of Abdulmari Asia Imao, a National Artist for Sculpture.

CHEAP HOTEL TO STAY IN JOLO, SULU: There are a few hotels in the area, and one of these is Sulu Peacekeepers In located inside Camp Asturias. For an overnight stay, I paid 950 pesos for a single bed, with aircon, tv and toilet and bath. This is the safest place because it is being run by a cooperative owned by the peacekeepers (uniformed personnel).
How to Get to Sulu Museum: You can book a direct flight to Zamboanga International Airport. Ride a tricycle to the port area and buy your RoRo ticket to Jolo. For the schedule of trips, you can check Aleson Shipping Lines' Facebook page. In my case, I was from Bongao, Tawi-Tawi, so I rode a ferry to Jolo, with a stopover in Siasi Island.
