We were able to meet, Mr. Ramon Orlina in person. We are just so blessed. He was very hospitable and gave us a little orientation about the place. He also gave us tips during our visit to the museo. It was one of those days we will surely treasure!

What is nice about Mr. Orlina's museo is that he also included other artist's masterpieces which also added color to his works. Being an artist just made me so blissful looking at every works and hoping to have my very own gallery someday.

This is one of my favorite. Just looking at these thirteen (13) lovely glass jewelries are just so dazzling. These are composed of the "Cleopatra" Neckpiece, "Lay Ann" Pendant, "Diana" Neckpiece, "Marcella Mariño de Agoncillo I" Pendant, "Maria Y. Orosa" Ring, "Josefa Llanes Escoda" Ring, "Anita Noble" Ring, "Monina" Pendant, "Imelda" Neckpiece, "Corazon" Neckpiece, "Anna" Pendant, "Catherine" Pendant, and "Angelina" Bangle.

What is totally cool about this museum is that you can also get interactive with the place and the collections that Mr. Orlina made. He makes it very friendly and a real nice place to be educated about these necessary art mediums. It is just so nice.

I just love how colorful the designs of the stairs. It just compliments and gives that artsy feels as you go every levels of Museo Orlina.

Even the outside little garden downstairs is just so magnificent. Even the displays are just so artistic.
