The Cata-Al World War 2 Museum started as a private personal collection but was expanded as a museum to let the new generation see what things were used during the Second World War. The collection includes ammunition such as guns, bayonets, and grenades. Also, there are old radios, transmitters, bags, army and navy uniforms and magazines related to the Second World War. Other Japanese memorabilia include costumes, tablewares, and many more. Cata-Al is a newly developed tourist spot and destination in Valencia, Negros Oriental.

When we arrived at the museum, we were welcomed by Mr. Constantino Cata-Al, the owner. The museum is clean and organized; however, due to its age, some items are damaged. There are no entrance fees, but a donation is highly recommended to preserve and maintain what's on the display. READ: My Solo-Backpacking in Negros Oriental, Siquijor, and Bohol
