As well as being an excellent, comprehensive look at the Philippines' flora, fauna, geography and geology, Manila's latest and greatest museum is an architectural marvel. It occupies a century-old neoclassical icon in Rizal Park, with four levels of exhibits surrounding a giant steel 'tree of life' in the interior courtyard. With multimedia exhibits and games as well as in-depth descriptions of the Philippines' incredible biodiversity, there is plenty to keep both kids and adults entertained.
The museum opened in 2019 after a four-year project to overhaul the building, previously the headquarters of the Department of Tourism. It's popular so be prepared to line up at weekends.
