This privately founded museum in the Makati business district is known for its meticulously crafted diorama series depicting the sweep of Philippine history in miniature. Its galleries also hold a dazzling collection of pre-colonial gold ornaments recovered from archaeological sites across the archipelago. Additional floors present ethnographic textiles, maritime trade ceramics and rotating exhibitions of modern art. Reopened after renovation with updated multimedia, it offers a compact but polished survey of the nation's cultural heritage.
