HAVE you heard the news? A museum in Quezon City is offering a glimpse of the Philippines during its post-war era, and if history and visiting new places pique your interest, you might want to add this place to your list of where to go. 

Located within the Quezon City Memorial Circle, Bahay Modernismo welcomes you to the view of what life used to be like back then. It transports you back in time when the country is starting to rebuild its strength following World War II. 

The museum also features what it was like during the time, showing various collections of the 1950s pop culture and more. 

Adding to its nostalgic theme, the museum was built from the architectural fragments from the former family homes of the Aquinos on Times Street.  

The museum is curated by a professor of architecture at the UP Diliman (UPD) College of Architecture (CA), Gerald Lico. During a media tour last Tuesday, the house was based on the home of the typical middle-income family during the 1950s – 1970s. 

The furniture, vinyl records, and magazines are all picked up according to the era that they’re trying to go on with.  

He also added that this is “a symbol of our architectural, cultural, and domestic evolution.” 

The museum is open to the public for free from Tuesdays to Sundays from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm.
