The Dizon Ramos Museum is housed in the ancestral home of Raymundo L. Dizon and Hermelinda V. Ramos. It was built in 1950 and reflects the architecture of post-war Bacolod, a blend of neo-classic and modern.

The home was converted into a museum in 2007, a year after Hermelinda passed away peacefully.

The first floor contains the Main Exhibit Hall which features a collection of a hundred pictorial reproductions which try to capture the parallel history of Bacolod City and the Dizon-Ramos Family. The vibrant photographs came from the period from 1937,

when Munding and Ermy were wed, to the present. The pictures are arranged

chronologically by decades. Together they give the viewer a glimpse into the noble past of a City and a family.

The three bedrooms in the left side contain memorabilia of the family.

The second floor reflects the lifestyle of the family. The sala, bedrooms, study room and dining area reflect how the family actually lived.

The furniture are mostly twentieth century with a few antique pieces.

The collections of crystals, porcelain paintings and jewelry came mostly from the extensive travels of the family, especially Brother Roly whose work as a prominent national educator brought him to many conferences abroad.

Memorabilia of Popsie and Momsie, Rudy, Ray, Ging and Patching are also displayed in the bedrooms. Roly’s memorabilia include a vast array of academic medals and plaques.

Ray and Roly have the rare distinction of two brothers who were given the Ten Outstanding Young Men Award by the Philippine Jaycees.
