The Escolta Museum (Manila)

Philippines / National Capital Region / Manila / Escolta, 266
The museum is located at the mezzanine of the Calvo Building along Escolta Street.

Enclosed in glass shelves are vintage bottles, old photographs and old newspaper articles that perhaps showcase Escolta and its vicinity to be the Philippines’ Western Emporium at the turn-of-the-century. Also on display are scale models of existing and non-existing buildings located along this short thoroughfare along the Pasig River.

The product and services offered in Escolta are highlighted in an exhibit of newspaper advertisements. The advertisements are mostly from Spanish to the late American Period. These ads feature imported household products to overwhelmingly agrarian Philippines then.
The place is located in Calvo Building
