Very nice. 🖤 You will enjoy it while exploring inside. You won't see the beauty of the art if you won't look close to it.

Not as big as the Ben Cab Museum in Baguio but as impressive with the quality of the work displayed. Four floors, a roof deck and a sculpture garden containing glass sculpture cut from solid blocks of glass and other paintings and sculptures by visiting artists. We'll worth spending some time here to appreciate the impressive works of art.

I visited Museo Orlina recently, and despite not being an avid art enthusiast, I found the experience surprisingly enjoyable. The collection of glass sculptures is truly captivating, each piece telling its own unique story. The fusion of art and storytelling creates a distinct charm, making it an engaging visit even for those not typically drawn to art galleries.

What adds a local touch to the experience is the inclusion of works by local artists that are available for purchase. It's a wonderful opportunity to take home a piece of the vibrant local art scene and support talented artists. The museum not only showcases art but also provides a platform for the community's creative expression.

"Very artistic displays"

This is my first time to see an art made out from Glass and it is very interesting.

I commend the artist for making such masterpiece, its a unique type of art.

To be honest, I am not really into art but its satisfying to see and experience being in this kind of museum.

There was an entrance fee of P150 and I think its worth the price for the tour.

The place is quiet, peaceful and has a good view.

There was street parking available.

Museu Orlina, one of the top museums in the nation, is home to the magnificent glass sculptures created by Ramon Orlina. Enter to view the artist's finest creations, which are not only complex but also uniquely designed. The Museum is divided into several sections, each of which contains a gallery with a specific focus.

Located in the Hollywood Subdivision on Hollywood St. Tagaytay, Cavite, Philippines: Tolentino East, Tagaytay City, Santa Rosa - Tagaytay Rd.

The museum's sections consist of the following;
*Reflections and Naesa
*Ningning
*Anna
*Displays on the lower level
*Sculpture Garden and Amphitheatre
*Art cars: Cars decorated with artwork

Additionally, there is a rooftop where you can enjoy the beauty of Taal Lake.

The operating hours of the Museo Orlina are Tuesday through Sunday, 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with the exception of Mondays, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day.

Entrance fee is Php 100.00 enjoy..

I was amazed by all of the glass sculptures I saw. The gallery really showed how Orlina had developed his technique over the years; how he fully utilized the properties of glass and how it interacts with light, as well his appreciation and tributes to impressive architectural design.

Only posting a few of the pictures I took to avoid spoiling the fun for other people, though pictures don't really do justice to the works. You really need to be there and see them from every angle to truly appreciate the amount of thought and meticulousness put into each sculpture.

That was a truly enjoyable and educational visit for a very affordable price of P150. I wish I had come a little earlier, more than an hour is needed to really appreciate all of the works in the museum, especially since the paintings / sculptures from the other artists in the gallery were really impressive too.

Really not a keen and knowledgeable person about art but the place is solemn. The entrance may be a bit expensive for just limited art pieces. Still a good place to visit in tagaytay.

Entrance fee is quite expensive for like 300 per person for a limited art. They have 3 floors and each floor has different art. Not that spacious but still good. I hope they add a service where their staff can explain the history of these arts to visitors/tourists.

SEPT 2022 - The main artist is an architect who create glass into wonderful sculptures. I was thankful that the kids love the idea to visit the place to give them a glimpse of what other artists are able to achieve with their imagination.

Previously you have to make a reservation but now, you can just walk-in. A tour guide will explain the history and will be kind to answer any questions. It's a 4 level building and don't worry the elevator is working.

I've added photos of the pieces I like, and it makes you think how they manage to build it using simple tools... I wish they also included in display the power tools used and short video clip on how it is done. Glass combined with proper lighting is really nice specially if it has a differnt color than the usual glass material.

Some items on display in the gallery at lower levels are also for sale... just look for a folder where you see the prices. Any question you may ask the tour guide.

I wish I can own one glass center piece for our house, the violet color seems to the one my wife would definitely love. I am sure, I will have one in coming years... 👍
