Silliman Hall, the oldest American-built structure in the Philippines, houses a museum that traces the region's cultural and natural history. Exhibits include ancient pottery, tribal weapons, musical instruments, and a collection of seashells and marine life. The building itself, with its wooden architecture and wide verandas, evokes early 20th-century campus life. Visitors can explore at their own pace, learning about Negros Oriental's indigenous communities and the university's role in education.
