SEPT 2022 - The main artist is an architect who create glass into wonderful sculptures. I was thankful that the kids love the idea to visit the place to give them a glimpse of what other artists are able to achieve with their imagination. Previously you have to make a reservation but now, you can just walk-in. A tour guide will explain the history and will be kind to answer any questions. It's a 4 level building and don't worry the elevator is working. I've added photos of the pieces I like, and it makes you think how they manage to build it using simple tools... I wish they also included in display the power tools used and short video clip on how it is done. Glass combined with proper lighting is really nice specially if it has a differnt color than the usual glass material. Some items on display in the gallery at lower levels are also for sale... just look for a folder where you see the prices. Any question you may ask the tour guide. I wish I can own one glass center piece for our house, the violet color seems to the one my wife would definitely love. I am sure, I will have one in coming years... 👍

Really not a keen and knowledgeable person about art but the place is solemn. The entrance may be a bit expensive for just limited art pieces. Still a good place to visit in tagaytay. Entrance fee is quite expensive for like 300 per person for a limited art. They have 3 floors and each floor has different art. Not that spacious but still good. I hope they add a service where their staff can explain the history of these arts to visitors/tourists.

Museu Orlina, one of the top museums in the nation, is home to the magnificent glass sculptures created by Ramon Orlina. Enter to view the artist's finest creations, which are not only complex but also uniquely designed. The Museum is divided into several sections, each of which contains a gallery with a specific focus. Located in the Hollywood Subdivision on Hollywood St. Tagaytay, Cavite, Philippines: Tolentino East, Tagaytay City, Santa Rosa - Tagaytay Rd. The museum's sections consist of the following; *Reflections and Naesa *Ningning *Anna *Displays on the lower level *Sculpture Garden and Amphitheatre *Art cars: Cars decorated with artwork Additionally, there is a rooftop where you can enjoy the beauty of Taal Lake. The operating hours of the Museo Orlina are Tuesday through Sunday, 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with the exception of Mondays, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day. Entrance fee is Php 100.00 enjoy..

The museum exhibits glass sculptures of Mr. Orlina. Incredible art work. It's a 4 storey museum and some artworks are for sale. If you are into art, then it's a recommended place to visit when in Tagaytay.

Although the collection is limited and the space is almost too tight for a museum, it's still one of the better alternatives to other attractions in Tagaytay for Php130. Better go here during non-peak hours because parking can be scarce since it's just off the street.

I wasn’t really aware that there’s a glass museum in Tagaytay! A close friend said that she wanted to go here and so we did! The place is bright and airy. The art pieces are remarkable. I really enjoyed seeing the glass artworks. They also have some paintings and wall murals. Definitely a must visit for art enthusiasts specially those looking for things to do in Tagaytay.

Filipino Art and Culture Place This is an art building that includes rooftop and outdoor display of masterpieces. It is a place where anyone could enrich, reflect and appreciate oneself about art, culture and imagination. It does not require an art major to see the inspiration of the featured artist. It even helps see others perspective and perception of things and feels connected too. It is a good learning experience for all ages.

Not as big as the Ben Cab Museum in Baguio but as impressive with the quality of the work displayed. Four floors, a roof deck and a sculpture garden containing glass sculpture cut from solid blocks of glass and other paintings and sculptures by visiting artists. We'll worth spending some time here to appreciate the impressive works of art.

If you appreciate art, perhaps this is a nice place to visit, it's a 4 story-modern building, with exclusive art work of a filipino artist Ramon Orlina. Comprised of glass work, which is quite clean and aesthetically pleasing. May take around 30minutes to check all floors and see each piece. Entrance wasn't so much alittle over 100.

Mr. Ramon Orlina's works are mesmerizing. You need to be there to understand what I mean. Also, elderly people who appreciate art won't have to worry even though there are three levels because there's an elevator!

A must visit in Tagaytay! At first glance, I thought it is just a small museum but when I entered this museum exceeded my expectations. Safety protocols include limited number of persons allowed inside, wearing of faceshield and face mask are required and there is a temperature check and health declaration to be filled up before entering. The location may be difficult for some due to the steep road and it is not along the road. Entrance fee is 130 pesos as of Nov 29, 2020 and you will see other paintings/sculptors not from Orlina only. The artworks especially the glass sculptures by Orlina were mindblowing and extraordinary..

The place is like a 5-storey house made into a museum. They have beautiful art works. You can see the Taal Lake from the roof top. Entrance fee is cheap. The place is very easy to tour and locate. Staff are accommodating.

The place is a great quick stop and very accessible. Just a few meters away from Tagaytay Market. The road to the museum is pretty steep, but they have a tricycle that picks museum goers from and to the museum. The displays are all sculptures and paintings, so kids may not be interested and might even break some of them. They also have a great selection of souvenirs that you can purchase. The rooftop also has a great view of Taal Lake. When we visited, the entrance fee is P130 per person (cheaper for students, I believe).

Stunning collection of Ramon Orlina’s art, filled with various sculptures and pieces produced throughout his life. Price is really good for the quality of art as well as the location overlooking taal lake.

Love the collections. If you appreciate arts, this museum is worth the drive.

Entrance fee is 130. 3 floors to explore ,with a view of taal volcano.

The Glass Sculpture was even more surprising in real than what you see on the pictures. From the view deck you can see the over looking view of Taal Lake Worth place to visit.

Really nice glass sculptures of the Filipino artist. Quite a few floors with a rooftop viewing deck of the surrounding views of the lake. Not more than 30 mins to do the entire place. Some good pieces, with lots of pieces featuring the female form. Service was my moderate. The place was under going some renovation.

this place is just a walk away from my place

Glass sculpture collection by an architect. I like every piece especially the large one on the second floor. The museum also has the views of the lake. This place is a must visit while in Tagaytay.

This is a fantastic glass museum - one of its kind in the world I would say. The staff maynot seem very friendly at first having so many strict rules like even in December 2022 - a strict mask protocol, etc but then you realize it is just a management decision they are forced to follow. The first two floors are dedicated to works of Mr. Orlina which are fascinating to say the least. We felt his take on feminism was a little on the higher side though the museum had a note that some of Art was influenced with the birth of his second daughter. Again it's art, so everyone has a different take. The lower two floors have a rotating exhibits from other similar artists which were equally interesting but more information on the artists would be useful. Do check out their Facebook page for any possible holiday timings or closures. Finally, the road leading to the museum is super steep - if you are driving on your own, please be careful when you exit.

A bit small and mainit sa loob. But I think art enthusiasts will enjoy the place. A bit pricey entrance fee, 130. Nag increase na sila from 100

"Very artistic displays" This is my first time to see an art made out from Glass and it is very interesting. I commend the artist for making such masterpiece, its a unique type of art. To be honest, I am not really into art but its satisfying to see and experience being in this kind of museum. There was an entrance fee of P150 and I think its worth the price for the tour. The place is quiet, peaceful and has a good view. There was street parking available.

Very nice. 🖤 You will enjoy it while exploring inside. You won't see the beauty of the art if you won't look close to it.

I visited Museo Orlina recently, and despite not being an avid art enthusiast, I found the experience surprisingly enjoyable. The collection of glass sculptures is truly captivating, each piece telling its own unique story. The fusion of art and storytelling creates a distinct charm, making it an engaging visit even for those not typically drawn to art galleries. What adds a local touch to the experience is the inclusion of works by local artists that are available for purchase. It's a wonderful opportunity to take home a piece of the vibrant local art scene and support talented artists. The museum not only showcases art but also provides a platform for the community's creative expression.

Awesome!

The art works are very interesting.

best

There are different artworks made by different artists - glass, metal and different media. Elevator is not working for now, so you have to take the stairs, you go up 3 levels and go down again to visit the artworks in the basement. The place has a very nice view of Taal as well, especially when you're in the rooftop. We brought kids and they appreciate the metal artworks so much and they loved playing and "performing" in the garden outside. There's a small stage where they simply sang and danced their hearts out. 😊

Wow! Just wow!

This is a cool museum in Tagaytay :)

the tagaytay version of bencab in baguio, perfect treat of a place to visit in tagaytay!

A must try if you're a fan of stone/crystal sculpture. Amazing and colorful stones for your viewing pleasure

A good cultural retreat from the busy main road. A relaxed atmosphere with interesting glass and other exhibitions including art in the garden. Helpful staff on hand to explain the exhibits.

Amazing glass works by Mr Orlina.

The sculptures are really great and the view at the penthouse is spectacular. It's a pretty chill place and it's got a lot of history in it. It's a nice to place to check out in Tagaytay. The only drawback is how steep the location is. If your brakes are going bad, refrain from going here, but all in all a solid place to visit.

A must visit!

Interesting collection of glass Sculpture objects, jewelry, furniture and paintings. Mr. Orlina is truly talented! I especially enjoyed the garden with quirky sculpltures made of various materials! Do visit this place, great views of Taal lake as well from the rooftop!

Serene place

Great place for art lover

Timeless

Ticket entrance is too pricey for a senior citizen.

Very interesting sculpture.

I was amazed by all of the glass sculptures I saw. The gallery really showed how Orlina had developed his technique over the years; how he fully utilized the properties of glass and how it interacts with light, as well his appreciation and tributes to impressive architectural design. Only posting a few of the pictures I took to avoid spoiling the fun for other people, though pictures don't really do justice to the works. You really need to be there and see them from every angle to truly appreciate the amount of thought and meticulousness put into each sculpture. That was a truly enjoyable and educational visit for a very affordable price of P150. I wish I had come a little earlier, more than an hour is needed to really appreciate all of the works in the museum, especially since the paintings / sculptures from the other artists in the gallery were really impressive too.

Beautiful place to visit in tagaytay. Superb artwork of glass sculptures! 😍👏

Everything's great. I just wish we were able to see everything completely. Maybe it's because of the bad weather, but overall the experience is great. Shout-out to their driver as well for voluntarily driving us on our way back to the main road. Thank you. :)

Amazing art work. I would definitely recommend others to visit.

Nice gallery with great views, friendly staff. The art pieces and works were worth the stop. Very creative and unique. I liked the gift shop too.

Impressive displays. A little small gem in Tagaytay. Great artwork! You'll see works of Ben Cab, Manansala, and etc. on display!

As a thomasian. I never knew that he was the one who designed the quadricentennial. The arcanum is amazing in close. I really love how the light hits the different angle cuts. Truly amazing.

This beautiful place was probably the jewel of my latest Tagaytay trip. I came here with my family and extended family, so ages ranged from 12-60, but everyone enjoyed the museum. For a fee of 130PHP, we got to enter the museum, get Museo Orlina brochures, and have someone guide us through the museum. It was a fascinating experience, and kudos to our guide, Jerry! He was enthusiastic about the museum, and art in general, that his enthusiasm was infectious. He also let us walk around after he explained each floor and some of Orlina's works to us. As well, they have a great program where they feature other Filipino artists' works. Don't miss this when you go to Tagaytay!

The only problem is the ventilation. But all in all ang gaganda ng artworks.

Good view

This is a museum of the renowned pioneer in glass sculptures in the country. Even if you're not really into sculptures, you'd be amazed at how talented Ramon Orlina is in his craft. The museum is a sight to see. By the way, there's an entrance of Php 130. Complimentary with a giveaway article about the life of Ramon Orlina.

nice and bright

👍👍

Worth it going there alone because I was able to take a greater look into the details of the work and the stories behind them. The curator I talked to was very accommodating of my questions as well and was very well-versed not only in Orlina's art but also those who were featured in the museum! Looking forward to coming back soon with my family and friends next time!

amazing artworks😍

The place was OK. I was really hoping to see contemporary art from known artists but seen only glass sculptures. Other galleries were closed although there were no restrictions being implemented already. Few parking available.

Great art works, glass sculptires are very elegant, fine craftmanship. The place is well organized, very cozy. A must visit when in Tagaytay

Nice place to visit... Good for the mind

Nice artworks

Loved the display. Definitely worth every peso.

Great ambience. Great artist.

Mini museum, but the glasses display are spectacular!

Amazing

Authenticity

Very beautiful museum with state-of-the-art sculptures 😇 As a pregnant mom, I'm very delighted to view the artworks here because I can relate with the themes about mother and daughter. They also sell souvenirs, and shirts. 😇

Such marvel 🥰

It's one of Tagaytay's little known gems. Beautiful glass sculptures, paintings. It has several floors filled with great art pieces. Worth the entrance fee. Plus it has a great view of the lake. Update 2021: We went there on Feb.13. We reserved our tour online and it's advisable to do that since they have strict rules on how many people go inside the museum. We reserved our 2pm slot and then paid it via PayMaya. Once we got there, they have staff to help you get a parking slot. Masks and face shields are required. Once you go in, just tell them your name and they'll process it and give you your tickets. They ask you to wear your masks at all time. You can put upyour face shield if your want to look at the museum pieces but you can't remove them. You can take photos but they will ask you not to turn on the flash. There are four floors available to roam around. It's pretty big so you can probably spend more than an hour going through it. Or not. The place isn't crowded at all. Which is good if you ask me. The rooftop or roof deck was off limits when got there. Ask them first if it's available when you do the tour. Still one of the best places to go to Tagaytay for culture and sights.

Place is small, but full of personal collection and award winn8ng piece by THE MAN himself - Arch Ramon Orlina.

Great place

A cute art gallery with interesting glass arts.

You will find very interesting pieces inside.

The place is amazing... hope they will add more amazing art work every year...

I really dont know the Artist Orlino but wanted to see the Museo so I went in. They follow safety protocols. Entrance fee of Php 130 per head which I find to be a bit high. There are good artworks to see but of course it will depend on one's preference.

This place is a must visit! Every month they feature different artists other than Ramon Orlina's pieces. I've visited this place a couple of times already and it's always a good experience revisiting quality Filipino art. Plus the view of Taal is a natural spectacular scenery too. Would definitely come back here again 😊

Great artworks and sculptures you'll definetly love

Nice place!

This is a perfect place to cap off your Tagaytay adventure. Look at the wonderful glass creations of Sir Orlina and take another breathtaking view of the Taal Lake and volcano at the top floor of the museum.

Home of abstract sculptures and arts.

Creative use of a common material

I was amazed by the place. Definitely going back with my friends soon.

Wonderful Pieces with great lighting. A must visit place for when you're in Tagaytay!

Really beautiful glass sculptures by famous artist Ramon Orlina can be seen here. There are also other artworks displayed. The place is pwd friendly since it has an elevator. Entrance fee as of this writing is P130/hd. I highly recommend this place to Art enthusiasts.

Must visit this place, have a lot of great art piece.

Great place to visit and let the masterpieces of Sir Orlina amaze you. Recommended to artists/painters and art lovers. It is also a good place for students field trip destination.

don’t get me wrong. i love the place but P130 entrance is kinda pricey for what they offer,. unless they charge people for the great view outside as well,. 👌

Awesome place

Art is for everyone! This place will inspire the inner artist in you.

Last visited this on November 2017, if you were looking for a different medium of art, this museum is a must try in visiting Tagaytay City.

Truly amazing Orlina glass sculptures! The converted house facing the infamous Taal volcano, is home to the beautiful obras of world renowned Filipino sculptor Ramon Orlina. The place is well lit and cool, and even has an elevator to better access the multi-level museum even by wheelchair. There are also areas where guest artist's works are displayed as well. A must see museum when in Tagaytay.

Super cool

Super impressed. Don't miss out!

Very accommodating staff. Glass sculpture is a very unique kind of art
