Hurtige fakta: The museum showcases over 30,000 artifacts spanning art, natural history, and religious relics. It holds one of the largest and oldest collections of colonial-era religious art in Southeast Asia.
Højdepunkter: One standout exhibit is the collection of ancient ecclesiastical vestments made from real gold threads, some older than 300 years. Visitors can also explore a vast natural history section featuring preserved rare Philippine wildlife specimens.
Insidertips
- Wear comfortable shoes as you will walk and stand for long periods.
- Carry a camera but note that flash photography is prohibited inside exhibition galleries.
- Focus on the religious art section first, then the natural history displays as the rooms get busier by afternoon.
- Visit during off-peak hours, preferably weekday mornings, to avoid school group tours.
