(SPOT.ph) They're not typically top-of-mind when thinking of something fun to do. For most of us, after all, our last and only memory of a museum is probably from grade school, when a visit was a requirement, and we were told to keep quiet, stay in line, and "Don't touch anything!"
But museums these days are quite a different animal--sometimes, even a revelation, with the potential to open your eyes and mind to new interests, and interactive exhibits that actually encourage you to try, touch, or even smell. Thankfully, Manila has its fair share. Here, a few worth visiting.

I was thinking the same thing. If there is one museum (or should I say, two, because there are two buildings) Filipinos must see, it's the National Museum of the Filipino People and the National Gallery of Art. So much has changed in the National Museum since our elementary field trip days, thanks to efforts in revitalizing the place since the late '90s.
Manila is home to many museums and, of course, for the sake of this article, only ten can be featured. I do hope, though, that this list encourage more people to visit museums.
