TAGAYTAY: Museo Orlina - a Glass Museum

If you are an artist or just an art enthusiast, you definitely know Mr. Ramos Orlina. I do not fall in either of the two but I do appreciate art like this. Thus when I saw the Museo Orlina featured on TV, I said that this is a must if given a chance to travel in Tagaytay. Luckily, we were invited by Lazea Tagaytay Inn which is just minutes away by walk from the Museo Orlina.

Museo Orlina is a private gallery featuring all the works of Ramon Orlina. It also features artist from all over the Philippines.The museum holds art festival and events in its vicinity. Museo Orlina has four levels which are names after his children. Lets have a lay mans tour of the museum. Ningning Gallery
