The Mind Museum

I remember blogging about this museum back in my old blog, and I was extremely happy when Thirdy surprised me with tickets to The Mind Museum for our monthsary! The vision for this place was extremely enticing, so we were really excited for it to come to life. The first thing you will notice when you get there, is just how immense the structure of the building is. The place is also very clean which makes it that much more attractive. Make sure you get there early because you will need all the time you can get during your slot to make the most out of the experience.

Upon entering, you will be greeted with Aedi, the robot who will tell you on how to go about your Mind Museum adventure. We were so amazed by just the beginning so imagine our delight when we actually went through all the exhibits.

These are the different exhibits we saw:

They have helpful descriptions like this one to guide you throughout the museum. We suggest that you really read up, instead of only trying out the exhibits themselves, to actually serve the purpose of your visit.

This station was the most interesting one for me. The decoration of the ceiling were made up of lights that try to recreate the night sky. Imagine just how beautiful this place was. It was like sitting in a park at night, with the cold breeze!

The huge brain was also a big attraction for most of the people who went during our time slot. It was actually fun to see people try out the games on the interactive screens because we could see just how much fun they were having.

This is the large butanding or whaleshark near the brain. I just cant believe how much imagination, hard work and money it took to actually make exhibits like this one.

Unfortunately, by the time we got to the second floor, Thirdy's camera ran out of battery so we weren't able to document anything. The second floor was the different kinds of technology that stemmed out of the basic foundations of science that was present on the first floor.


This is the perfect place to bring your family and most specially kids, for them to learn while having fun. For adults like us, it still remains interesting because of how the exhibits were made. Thirdy and I always remarked to each other just how amazing the creation process was for every exhibit. All the tools used to make each one seemed like it went through meticulous steps. We were just disappointed that some of them weren't working when we went there. We felt like we didn't get our money's worth. Nonetheless, the Mind Museum is definitely something Manila can now boast about. For a long time, we haven't had any interesting and interactive museum located here, and now we finally have one!


We suggest you book your visit now, if you haven't already! If you've got nothing to do this summer, devote at least a day to visit the Mind Museum and we promise you won't regret it. And do tell us about your experience after! Happy reading! :)
