Malacañang Museum

“I hate ugliness. I’m allergic to ugliness.”
- Imelda Marcos
 
Located within the heart of the Malacañang Complex, the Presidential Museum and Library is the repository of the memorabilia and heritage of the Presidency of the Philippines. Due to Palace security procedures, a visit inside the museum is strictly by reservation at least a week prior to the requested date.
 
The museum and library is housed in Kalayaan Hall built in 1920s

with the Pasig River facing Malacanang (kung alam lang nila hehe)
 
Perhaps this is the grandest museum of the Philippines; no objects on display are ugly.
