San Agustin Museum

The San Agustin Museum is a privately-owned museum maintained by the Augustinian Friars and housed inside the monastery of the San Agustin Church. The museum features ecclesiastical art and regalia illustrating the history of the monastery and its order. It contains a collection of 26 huge oil paintings of saints; the Don Luis Araneta Collection of Antique Santos; the crypt wherein the Philippine notables are buried; the Capitulation Room where the Spanish surrendered to the Americans in 1898; the Sacristy that houses antique carrosas and richly embroidered vestments; and the famous choir loft hand-carved from molave wood that dates back to 1614.
