I have always wanted to visit UP Manila’s Museum of a History of Ideas, and last Saturday, I finally got to do so!
I was welcomed by a beautiful white building and lush greens.
The museum traces the early beginnings of the University of the Philippines, which ushered in the beginning of secular education. It also features the modernization of medicine in the country.
I love the clean design of the museum, and I also appreciate the continuity of theme in their souvenirs. I got this shirt to remind myself that ideas matter.
I also found the inclusion of greenery refreshing and inspiring.
Vintage medical equipment from the Philippine General Hospital are also found in the museum.
The light and airy building removed the morbidity.
I also got to watch a short video on the history of UP and PGH.
The museum may be small, but is was full of information, artifacts, and light.
There were also personal mementos from the first students of UP.
Ended my visit with some photos by the stunning displays.
I was glad to have made the trip to UP Manila for this museum experience. It was a breath of fresh air.
