Basilica del Santo Nino Museum

Overview: The Basilica del Santo Nino Museum is just across the plaza from the church. The museum was founded by Fr. Ambrosio Galindez in 1965 to commemorate the Philippines’ four centuries of Christianization. Inside, the museum’s collections of vestments, some dating back to the 16th century, and offerings to Sto Nino give the visitor an idea of the history and events of Christianization of the Philippines. Books, statues, furniture and other items are spread throughout the museum.
