I
am
always
passionate
about
old
building
and
old
collection
though
my
friend
said
it
must
be
haunted.
The
museum
itself
is
in
the
second
floor
of
a
16th
century
building
in
the
heart
of
UST
landmark.
The
stairs
towards
the
museum
remind
me
of
ancient
barok
castle.
The
entrance
fees
are
30
peso
per
person
with
student
ID
and
50
peso
per
person
for
public.
The
museum
is
a
two
story
rooms
with
two
rooms
in
each
wings
while
in
the
center
is
a
balcony
design.
The
right
wing
is
collecting
paintings
that
were
painted
in
the
yester-century.
Some
were
made
during
18th
and
early
19th.
Few
were
made
in
the
17th.
I
even
found
a
painting
of
Balinese
girl
that
were
painted
in
the
18th
with
traditional
style
(topless
and
only
wears
sarong
for
the
lower
cloth).
The
girl
has
the
pure
beauty
of
the
mother
nature
that
is
rare
nowdays.
Some
painting
were
darks
and
looked
mourning.
The
left
wings
collects
wood
statues
of
saint
and
santa
including
the
nativity
family
which
comes
from
17th
century.
Some
that
are
made
of
light
woods
are
destroyed
but
still
have
the
shape
but
those
made
of
hardwoods
are
intact.
The
right
wing
balcony
collects
ancient
tools,
fabric,
instruments
and
statue
from
the
ancient
of
the
Philippines.
The
center
balcony
devoted
to
Dominican
and
Vatican.
There
are
chairs
that
used
by
Pope
John
Paul
2nd
and
Pope
Francis
during
their
visit
in
the
Philippines.
Also
ancient
binocular
and
utensils
that
used
by
16th
century
voyagers.
Coins
as
the
embellish
of
authority
and
stamp
are
also
collected
here.
The
left
balcony
collects
the
ancient
pottery
from
Asian
countries
i.e
China,
Thai,
Myanmar,
and
Japan.
The
first
floor
collects
many
freeze
animals
and
creatures
that
live
in
the
Philippines
in
the
old
days
and
this
era,
from
the
seabed
until
the
top
of
the
trees.
Huge
collection
of
birds,
fishes
and
seashells.
I
find
the
place
is
enlightening
though
it
is
quite
small
compare
to
other
museum.
