I really like the beautiful ironwork of its many windows. The sculpted ornamentation on the walls and ceilings are quite simple but still pretty.
The plaques under the wall lamps identify the people involved in the reconstruction of the building, formerly the Finance Building of the Philippine government, which was completed in 1950. They feature the coat of arms of the Republic of the Philippines and lists foremost the President under whose term the building was reconstructed: Elpidio Quirino. Tiny lettering carved into one corner of the metal identifies the maker of the plaques: Crispulo Zamora & Sons, Art Sales - Manila.

I agree with you Hilda, the iron work is quite striking.
Bonjour Hilda : J'ai beaucoup aimé tes "Crystal Rainbow" !

I like the idea of having credits written on an old or new building.
Great reportage on a beautiful building, love the black iron.
Hi Hilda, was at JC's blog noticed your profile and your lovely pic reminded me of a lady I ahemmm, dated long ago.
Glad I busybody over, nice blog you have. And you're a good photographer.
Love the architecture, the window grills are beautiful.
You have a nice day and keep a song in your heart, Mabuhay, Lee.
clapping here as ive never heard of this museum. i rarely feature museums because camera's are usually not allowed.
Nice ironwork, many times beauty lies in the details of a design. Thanks for showing us that.
It is beautiful Hilda! I really like those light fixtures too.
The ironwork is beautiful. They just don't make things like that anymore!
Very intricate ironwork yet restrained and classical.

Magnificent building!
When I was there, I did not take any much notice of the buildings except of their grandeur and outside appearance. Now I realize we have old and antiquated architecture that stands at par with other countries predated in history.
This is beautiful post/
I wonder what the interior looks like.
I really like the ironwork in these pictures. It reminds me of the ironwork in Savannah, Georgia.
