Before we even got inside we were greeted by these beautiful stairs made of coral stone.You know like the stuff you find in the ocean?🙂 It was so cool and elegant,The stairs were all fancy and detailed aside from that it felt like we were walking into a secret passage to another time.



Once we got inside it was like we were in a place where old times and modern times mixed together.It was a really neat feeling.The museum was full of things that told stories about Naga's past and we were super excited to explore.

They also showed us these old trains that used to run in Naga.One was for people and the other one was for carrying things.They also used to use sacks made of abaca to pack cement not plastic like we do today It was amazing to see how things have changed.
