If you are in the vicinity of Ortigas Center then visiting this museum and library is a must  The museum exhibits Filipino works of art whether from famous or contemporary artists  You ll see works of art from names you won t recognize but wished you did because the paintings are just that good  Then there are works of Filipino masters like Felix Hidalgo and Juan Luna  Works of art that defies time and are still a pleasure to behold after all these years They also have a library with an extensive collection of Filipiniana titles  One of the biggest I ve seen at more than 20 000 volumes  My favorite is their collection from the Spanish era  I can t read them completely yet but it s one of my motivations for studying Spanish  One day  I ll come back and read those Spanish volumes without my trusty Spanish English dictionary to help me out And yes  eve though the Lopez family owns this museum and library  they ll let you in even if you re a certified Kapuso
