Free Entrance
Opening 9:00AM-4PM Daily
@Front Yard - the entrance was inviting, no Entrance Fee :-)
As everybody may have already known, there's already a museum under the
Quezon City Monument Tower so why have a new museum? As I've read, the
new house museum was specially focused on preserving such kind of
architecture and for Filipino students to have an idea of how Filipino
houses were built then. I've shared some photos and let me hear from you
if you think it will really serve its purpose in the end. --->
No, you are not supposed to enter that door at the top of the stairs :-)
At the back is the original front door of the house, with iron trimmings of leaves and flowers. Sorry but the photographer chose to shoot us :-)
Here's where you are supposed to start your museum visit. We were welcomed by a friendly security guard before we got up the stairs and above, you will be greeted by a museum tour guide :-)
I just want to take note that the security guard was friendly enough to greet all the passersby saying : "Pasok po kayo, wala pong bayad." (You can enter, it's free). Literally no signs there telling the people that the museum is now open to the public.

ReplyDeletewoah. i love how you guys tour and enjoy in QC circle. never though that there's one kind of antique house in that area.
ReplyDeleteNice Museum! Good thing we have na something near lang. I love that Original Dresser! It will be very expensive to sell for sure! and that fountain thing, you're right, I thought it's swimming pool hehe
ReplyDeleteWill surely visit this museum! Looks so exciting!
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting seeing normal, everyday things that great people used. Brings them down to earth, you know? Makes them more human. And it's pretty refreshing in this case to see how minimalistic yet classy their abode was, compared to, say, the Marcos's lifestyle.
