this is not the first time i have visited the place and it should be a good place to bring visitors from other countries. though it's collection may not compare to the vatican's, it should give us a glimpse of filipino culture and history- political, religious and economic. highly recommended for foreigners. much updating and upkeep should be done though.

I have been to the museum and the church several times and never fail to appreciate the place. The art pieces exhibited are very precious that they survived world war 2. Manila was almost torn down into ashes and those lucky statues, paintings and other artworks were the lucky ones. Spend at least 2hrs to go around the museum and... More
