MUSEO  DE LASALLE  TOUR EXPERIENCE

              Our Museo De La Salle tour started with a few rules and regulations around the Museo and also a fast tackling of the architectural design of the Museum.




               

                     

                         ( museo de la salle - entrance located in De LaSalle University dasma  )




 

 

in the entrance , you will already feel the unique atmosphere of the museum and also you'll notice the big vintage door () that adds flavor , excitement and the Spanish era theme when you are about to enter museo de la salle,

and when you enter the beautiful museum you'll first notice the big space of the bahay na bato "Stone House" in the ground floor and this is their space for the un used things or their "bodega" the museum is inspired to the old house before (Spanish colonial era) and the house is divided into two parts,

the ground floor that's made of stone "Bato" and upper floor/ second floor that's made of wood "Kahoy" and this house shows how rich the Philippine culture is, every room, every detail shows how the Filipino lived before and how powerful the Spanish/western/european influence is...









First we wandered around the 1st level of the Museo. We came upon the 'Carroza'.After g, we came up to the 2nd level of the Museo. The big Sala Mayor or also called main sala,  caught my eye. The place where the owner of the house spends time. Other places in the Museum also caught my attention helping me to learn more about living long ago. It helped me realize and know that those all in the Museo were all inspired from careful research of 1800's Spanish-American time

                                                            

                                                             




                                                                CAPIZ WINDOW OF LOVE

                   

As soon as you get to the second floor of the museum, you would realize that the rooms and the stairs are made of wood. But what really caught my eye are the windows called capiz. These capiz windows are made of wood grids and in the middle of each square are capiz shells. They say that if a capiz window is opened a little,  the man courting a woman is busted while if the window is widely open, a man is not busted. This is the Capiz window of love
