The Museum ensures that National Identity is part of the continuing discourse between Filipinos. Our gallery dedicated to National Hero Jose Rizal (1861–1896) aims to bring Rizal’s values and thoughts on national character to a larger audience.
The gallery features letters written by the Rizal family, archival photographs, among others. Highlights include Rizaliana books published in various languages, tampipi that once stored copies of Rizal’s first novel Noli Me Tangere, and personal memorabilia belonging to the Rizal’s first love, Leonor Rivera (1867–1893).
