The small Aklan provincial museum occupies the old American-era capitol building on Martyrs Street, two blocks east of Pastrana Park. Three rooms cover prehistoric Ati culture (stone tools, pottery, beadwork), the Spanish colonial period (Catholic vestments, swords, religious carvings), and the Aklan revolution of 1897 with photographs of the nineteen martyrs commemorated at the Freedom Shrine.
The collection is modest but the labels are bilingual and one of the curators is usually happy to explain the room on piña weaving — there is a working hand loom set up in the corner. Half an hour is plenty. The capitol building itself is worth a look, with an American-period veranda and pressed-iron ceilings.
