Museums in Las Pinas City

Edit This
Las Pinas City is such a relaxed city that in many ways it is preferable to other Filipino cities. For a city of its size it has a number of rather interesting museums, exhibiting its ancient traditions as well as its recent history. This Las Pinas City Museums  guide will help lead you to many of the city's cultural attractions.

Saint Joseph's Church and the Bamboo Organ


What really draws the tourists is the stunning Bamboo Organ housed within Saint Joseph's church. Its original and unique sound is a result of its construction out of other types of wood, metal and bamboo. The Bamboo Organ has inspired many other churches to copy its design and it is now regarded as an international site of heritage interest by UNESCO.

The Jeepney Factory


A Filipino national icon, the jeepney prompts many to wonder about its origins. All those questions will be answered at the Jeepney Factory, where you can see laborers hand-build these widespread vehicles that form the backbone of the Filipino public transportation system. Very cheap to use (a 20 minute journey can cost as little as a few US cents), the jeepney undercuts the price of bus or train travel and is very fast compared to other methods of transport.

The National Museum of the Filipino People


This astonishing place is located near Las Pinas, and its architecture is influenced by Greco-Roman tradition. Local artworks are featured, as are Filipino mummies. This is perhaps the most educationally-rewarding of all the attractions mentioned in this Las Pinas City Museums guide.
