The
construction
of
the
Museo
ng
Muntinlupa
commenced
on
April
25,
2017
with
an
allotted
budget
of
₱180
million
by
the
city
government.
It
was
initially
projected
to
be
finished
within
a
year
in
time
for
the
centennial
celebration
of
Muntinlupa
on
December
19
but
was
completed
within
almost
two
years.
It
was
opened
to
the
public
on
March
1,
2019
coinciding
with
Muntinlupa's
29th
founding
anniversary
as
a
city.
The
museum
standing
on
a
3,000
m2
(32,000
sq
ft)
land
was
designed
by
Beaudon
Causapin,
the
City
Architect
of
Muntinlupa.
The
building's
facade
was
designed
based
on
the
salakab,
a
traditional
fishing
trap
made
from
weaved
bamboo
sticks
and
fasted
by
rattan
rope
often
used
by
fishers
working
in
the
Laguna
de
Bay,
as
a
tribute
to
Muntinlupa's
fishing
industry
which
is
a
major
part
of
the
city's
economy.
The
Museo
ng
Muntinlupa
stands
five
storeys
high.
The
ochre
columns
and
wire
netting
of
the
buildings
were
devised
to
manage
the
building's
temperature
by
absorbing
and
deflecting
heat.
The
Museum
host
a
main
gallery,
a
mayor's
hall,
an
interactive
science
center,
and
a
theater
with
200
people
seating
capacity.
It
features
exhibits
featuring
the
city's
history
from
the
precolonial
era
until
the
modern
period.
It
also
features
works
of
the
city's
contemporary
artists
as
well
as
temporary
exhibitions.
