In an Instagram post, she said she was “thrilled” to make the announcement about the opening of the museum to the public that will showcase the vibrant and diverse history of the men and women who served in the highest office of the land.
“This beautiful space will be open to the public very soon and I can’t wait for everyone to see it!,” the First Lady said.
“A heartfelt thanks to everyone involved in bringing this project to life,” Araneta-Marcos added.
With her latest announcement, the Presidential Museum in the Baguio Mansion House—one of the landmarks of the City of Pines—is expected to draw visitors from Filipino families, students and youth.
In a sneak peek on the website museums.gov.ph, the Malacañang Heritage Museum showcases seven galleries highlighting the accomplishments from the country’s past presidents up to the current President, Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.
It will also have a souvenir shop for local and foreign tourists.
Last April, Araneta-Marcos highlighted the new museum’s role to encourage the young generation of Filipinos to love their country.
The Presidential Museum, according to the First Lady, will replicate Malacañang’s Teus Museum that houses a vast collection of priceless memorabilia, including presidential attire, footwear, flags and busts sculpted in the likeness of the former leaders.
