PSA: Casa Manila Museum in Intramuros Will Temporarily Close Starting This Month
Don't worry. It's just a temporary closure.
Published on Oct 8, 2026
(SPOT.ph) Intramuros has opened a slew of new attractions and activities in recent years, with one of the most frequented being the Casa Manila Museum. But if you’ve yet to glimpse life during the Spanish Colonial Era from within its walls, better drop by while you still can.
The Intramuros Administration has recently announced that Casa Manila will be temporarily closed starting this October. So if you want to finally visit before it does, here’s what you need to know.
What you need to know about Casa Manila Museum’s temporary closure
The 19th-century colonial lifestyle museum will close for renovations and improvements starting October 9. It will remain open through today, giving you one last chance to explore its historic spaces before the temporary closure.
With all the new and revitalized spaces popping up in the Walled City, it’s high time Casa Manila got its turn with improvements, refreshed galleries, and renewed spaces.
ICYDK, Casa Manila Museum depicts what life was like for an affluent Filipino family during the Spanish Colonial Era in the Philippines. It’s a replica of the San Nicolas House from the 1850s, originally located at Calle Jaboneros in Binondo. Designed to showcase the opulent lifestyle of the ilustrados and mestizos back in the day, its interiors are designed with a blend of period furniture and artifacts from the Philippines, Europe, and China.
Visit the Casa Manila Museum before its temporary closure
Since we don’t know how long the Casa Manila Museum will be closed for renovations, it’s a great idea to make one last visit before the closure. Head to the museum until October 8, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and pay the entrance fee of P75 for the regular rate or P50 for the discounted rate.
If you already have the Intramuros Passport, this would be a great opportunity to get a free one-time pass to Casa Manila Museum and get your passport stamped, if you haven’t yet. Otherwise, you can grab the passport online or via major Intramuros sites for P350.
In the meantime, we’re excited to see what’s new and improved when Casa Manila Museum reopens. As always, we’ll keep our eyes peeled for you, Spotters!
