OUR STORY
ince 1993, the Museo has been championing Filipino childhood and pioneering cultural education through the five senses.
The space is the dream come true of Nina Lim-Yuson, an early childhood educator and mother. Inspired by the Boston Children’s Museum, she wished for a similar place back home where Filipino youths can learn and have fun at the same time.
Former Department of Social Welfare and Development Secretary, Estefania Aldaba-Lim shared this dream with her, and together, they brought the museum to life — providing children with their own place in the cultural narrative of Manila.
