Known for its collection of 26 huge oil paintings of saints and notable burials of famous people in its crypt such as the renowned Filipino painter Juan Luna, the San Agustin Museum is a privately-owned museum maintained by the augustinian friars and housed inside the monastery of the San Augustin Church.

The museum is conjoined with the historical San Agustin Church, so visiting here after a religious mass or exploring around the church is just a walk away, it has a wealth of history that traced back to the Spanish landing in the Philippines. Its features include: Ecclesiastical arts and regalia illustrating the history of the monastery lined up in the hallways, the capitulation room where the Spanish surrendered to the Americans in the year 1898, the sacristy that houses antique Carrosas, two beautiful garden fountains with turtles living in it and richly embroidered vestments, and the famous choir loft hand carved from Molave word that dates back to 1614.

A visit is a must as it’s definitely worth your time. Bring your friends and family for a peek at history.
