The six-story building made of granite, steel, and glass houses an extensive collection of Philippine art, artifacts, and historical exhibits spanning multiple periods.

Located at Makati Avenue corner De La Rosa Street, the museum welcomes visitors Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM with special rates for students.

The historical monuments of Manila showcase Spanish colonial architecture and the national history of the Philippines. The city includes 16th-century fortifications like Intramuros and Fort Santiago, Catholic churches such as the neo-Romanesque cathedral and the baroque church of Saint Augustine, urban parks like Rizal Park, and museums depicting local culture. The Chinese district of Binondo and Manila Bay with its seaside promenade complete this architectural heritage.
