The Museo de Baler is a museum located in Baler, Aurora, Philippines. The museum provides an account of Baler's history, as well as local artifacts and exhibits. [1]
The museum was inaugurated in 2002. It was established to commemorate the Philippine-Spanish Friendship Day and the Siege of Baler, a battle during the Philippine Revolution in 1898. The cold cast, which covers the museum's façade, was created by Filipino sculptor Toym Imao. [2]
The museum's compound also hosts a historical marker that the Philippines Historical Committee, now the National Historical Commission of the Philippines, [3] installed on the site in 1948 to denote the birthplace of Manuel Quezon, the country's second president. [4]
