On the island of Culion, off the coast of Palawan, a group of nuns from France founded a leper colony in the early 20th century. In a few short years, 5,000 lepers were cared for on Culion, and the nuns kept such detailed records that a museum has now been founded on the same site. The actual colony closed in the 1920s, but an extensive register along with detailed photographs, clinical records and other documentation are still on display in this unique museum.
