The four national museums that make up Manila are one of the many attractions that one can experience in the city. There are four major museums in the country: the National Museum of Fine Arts, the National Museum of Anthropology, the National Museum of Natural History, and the National Planetarium. In spite of the fact that every single Philippine museum is home to some of the most beautiful natural and man-made treasures, they are all quite different from one another.
The National Museum of Natural History of the Philippines can be found in the historic Rizal Park at Agrifina Circle. As well as being a great example of the country’s architectural marvels, the museum also boasts one of the country’s most magnificent natural sciences collections, which include the world’s largest crocodile, Lolong, as well as a scaled replica of a Whale Shark and other marine mammals. Visitors can enjoy recreations of the beaches and mini-mangrove forests as well. There are tons of scientific discoveries and knowledge in the museum that will be sure to captivate the minds of kids and adults alike.
