Aguinaldo Museum


The Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo Museum or simply known as the Aguinaldo Museum is a history museum in Baguio, Philippines.

History

The Aguinaldo Museum was established in 1985 by Cristina Suntay, a daughter of revolutionary figure, Emilio Aguinaldo and former resident of Baguio to host what the family claims to be the first Philippine flag.
In 2011 the museum was reopened as an "interactive" museum after two years of renovation featuring other revolutionary figures in Philippine history.

Exhibits

First Philippine Flag

The first Philippine flag is kept in the museum and is available for public viewing. The century-old flag is being preserved by the museum management following instructions from the Smithsonian Institution in a collaborative consultation. The regulated temperature and dim lighting in the room where the flag is displayed is intended to preserve the flag. In 2011 it was reported that the flag was in "good viewing state" and would remain so for 20 to 30 years.
