Museum of Philippine Social History

Social History is the study of everyday life overtime. It deals with the rich and vibrant lives of ordinary people-their belief systems, houses and belongings, clothing, food and utensils, art forms and leisure, relations with families, neighbors and the community, nature and their surroundings-and how these have changed, remained or disappeared.

The Museum of Philippine Social History (Museo ng Kasaysayang Panlipunan ng Pilipinas/ Museu ning Amlat Pamalenan ning Pilipinas) provides a glimpse of Filipino social history in the past and today. It is housed in the mansion built by Mariano Pamintuan and Valentina Torres-Pamintuan in 1890 as a wedding gift to their son, Florentino.
