History

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]
