National Museum of Fine Arts
📍Ermita, Manila
The history of the old session hall is as enriching as the legacy it holds. Built in the late 19th century, the hall initially served as the meeting place for the country's legislative body. It witnessed pivotal moments in Philippine history, from heated debates on national issues to the passing of significant legislations. The old session hall became a symbol of democracy & governance, representing the voice of the people.
However, as the years went by, the need for a larger and more modern legislative space arose. The old session hall, with its limitations in terms of size and infrastructure, could no longer accommodate the growing demands of the legislative process. It was decided that a new session hall would be constructed, and the old one would be repurposed.
Recognizing the historical and cultural significance of the old session hall, the decision was made to transform it into a part of the National Museum of the Philippines. By doing so, the government aimed to preserve and honor the heritage of the space, ensuring that future generations would have the opportunity to learn and appreciate the country's political history.
Today, the old session hall stands as a testament to the nation's journey towards democracy. As a part of the National Museum, it offers not only a tangible glimpse into the past but also serves as a reminder of the importance of upholding democratic values. It is a place where the stories of our forefathers are preserved & where visitors can immerse themselves in the history that has shaped our nation.
