Manila Walk Tour: MUSEO DE INTRAMUROS

Museo De Intramuros

A BLAST FROM THE PAST! 🇵🇭


I was able to watch a video from STREETVIBEPH (Instagram: @streetvibeph) 2 weeks ago about the new Museo De Intramuros located at Corner Arzobispo, Anda street, Intramuros, Manila Philippines.

The said museum opened its doors to the public last 2nd of May, 2019 after months of renovation.



The building itself has a long history to tell. It was once called as the Casa Mision Convent that was part of the Iglesia De San Ignacio (San Ignacio Church).
The church was brutally destroyed during the Battle of Manila World War II.



Today, with the efforts of Intramuros Administration and with the help of their partners, they were able to reopen the place and showcase the rich history of Intramuros.

On the artistic point of view, seeing these 300 year old artifacts with full of history is truely amazing!

"It aims to highlight the resulting Filipino artistry and craftsmanship in the merging of the indigenous and the foreign, in the form of religious images belonging to the Intramuros Administration collection."



300 year old Artifacts, church memorabilas, paintings, and sculptures are now on display in the museum and the good thing about this is that admission is FREE!!!

TIPS:
The place is packed during weekends so you might want to visit this place the weekdays. They are open from Tuesday - Sunday 9am to 5pm (Manila)



If you still have time, also visit Rizal's shrine in Fort Santiago which is also located in Intramuros (accross Manila Cathedral), National Museum of Anthropology and National Museum of Natural History both are located in Rizal Park (Luneta Park)

Come and Rediscover Intramuros! Rediscover Manila! 🇵🇭
