IT’S FREE! I went to this place alone and it was beautiful. So much pieces of arts from different periods of the Philippines. It’s good on weekdays, there are only a few people. There are elevators but I wish they added arrows or indicators on the floors on where to start. I got lost multiple times. Other than that it’s such a great experience!

Although the museum is on a smaller side, it managed to display a lot of significant and valuable paintings as well as contemporary arts. No entrance fee but Filipinos needed to register with an ID and no drinks and bags allowed inside the museum.

    This museum of natural history has an incredible architecture, and it’s good to see that they’re renovating the whole area. (It needed it)

    Inside, you can find many nice exhibitions, some not so much, but it’s already great considering the Philippines is still developing.

    The galleries are well thought of, and I think it’s only a question of time before the museum becomes a little bit more interactive.

    I recommend visiting it if you’re in Manila. However, be mindful when walking around the area as there are many pickpockets. Hopefully, this changes in the near future.

    The Tree of Life elevator architecture at the center of the Museum is the most amazing thing to see but aside from that The elevator goes to the fifth floor and you can visit a lot of exhibits about the Philippines geology, topology, biology and anything nature related. I live the marine life ocean exhibit especially the submarine.

    Free entrance , no dress code , one ID for you and your companion to register at the entrance. Wheelchair can be borrowed for the elderly to enjoy all exhibit it’s free just leave an ID and return after use.

    I’ve been wanting to see this for so long. Grabbed the chance the last time I was in Manila and it did not disappoint. There were a lot of students roaming around perhaps as part of a group/field trip so it got a little bit busy/rowdy. But you’ll still have spaces where you can appreciate what they’ve laid out. Got to see taxidermy of some of the unique animals/species from PH. There were also samples of plants from all over the archipelago which were well preserved and were kept even after WW2. Comfort rooms were also well kept and clean. Kudos to the museum management for keeping all these for the future generations. Well worth the effort to go there. You get to learn and appreciate our history better and the best part is that you can do this for free! 🙂

    I went here on a Tuesday, as it was closed during Mondays like any other national museum in the Philippines. I love that it’s free, no entrance fee and just a valid ID is required. There’s not even a dress code so it’s very inclusive. Mind you there are 5 floors filled of artifacts and pieces of history. So be ready for a lot of walking and standing. What’s just annoying is when there are functions held in the museum. They will close off an entire section to the public. So it’s a downer if you just have that day to go visit.

    Interesting big museum about the Philippines’ natural history. Good reception, lovely place, free entry, clean toilets on every floor, and air-conditioned. A lot of things and information you can learn. It’s worth visiting for the whole family.
