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.
