This gleaming museum features four floors of superbly curated exhibits on Filipino culture, art, and history. At the heart of the collection is a brilliant exhibit consisting of 60 dioramas that succinctly, yet effectively, trace the nation’s history, which kids will also love. The indigenous textile collection on the 4th floor is superb, and there are some exquisite pieces of pre–Hispanic gold jewelry and objects on display. The rotating art exhibits tend to showcase Filipino masters such as Luna and Amorsolo
