D' Bone Collector Museum Kadayawan Promo
🏛️ Local Museum FeatureTucked along San Pedro Street in Talomo, Davao City, D’ Bone Collector Museum Inc. is home to one of the Philippines’ most extensive private collections of animal skeletons — from a towering sperm whale to the smallest reef fish. This Kadayawan season, bring the whole barkada and turn a walk through the bones into a lesson on the wildlife that shares our islands.
D’ Bone Collector Museum was founded in 2012 by Darrell D. Blatchley, an American naturalist raised in the Philippines. What began as a personal fascination with skeletal remains grew into a full museum built to help visitors understand how animals live, and die, in the wild.
The museum states that its specimens are obtained through legal and non-lethal means — animals found after storms, remains surrendered by community members, or specimens turned over by government agencies after being confiscated from illegal wildlife trade. Guided tours tie each skeleton back to a larger story about habitat protection and marine conservation in the Philippines.
The collection spans hundreds of specimens across land, sea, and air. Here’s what makes a visit worth the trip:
