Given the relatively small space, this museum packs a lot of info. I took the audio tour and really appreciated the dioramas of Philippine history. Also liked the collection of boat models. Didn't very much like the paintings apart from Juan Luna's.

Very educational, nice museun with many diferent colection and audiovisual experience. Lear about influence of spanish danish franch and asian cultures mixture in the diferents timelines.
