Everything comes alive in this museum through the stories of Ramon Hofileña, the owner and tour guide of the museum. Tell him if you only have an hour or less to spare so that he could tailor-fit his lecture/tour.

Home to thousands of vintage glass pieces mostly from the Depression Era in the United States, the Vintage Glasses Museum in Bacolod City is a unique and eccentric shrine to anything glass collected in a span of 30 years when the owner, Tomas Claridad Casiano worked as a butler for a Hollywood movie director and eventually opening his own flower shop for Beverly Hills royalty where he procured unique glasses for his flowers. When he came home to the Philippines, he brought home 66 boxes full of his glass collection and opened the museum as his home was too small for his crystal obsession. His most prized possessions include wine glasses from Queen Victoria's court, a 1915 whisky decanter made for Ford Motors, glass decanters owned by Nancy Reagan, a Russian czar's goblet and glasses made with uranium! Can't recommend this place enough! They only open by appointment so make sure to make reservations first!

Nice place to seek guidance and enlightenment from our beloved God. The place is quite perfect for solemn events like weddings, baptismals and other religious events. I did a lot of pictorials here since I am a photographer. Likewise an iconic and historic place for Bacolod City.

I truly miss this museum. What hapoend to all the nativity scenes? I hope the younger, family inheritors did not squander their ancestors' prized collectibles for a few prices of silver. May this house be an example to all who save up riches on this Earth. Your descendants will just auction off your legacy. Same could be said for 99% of fmaily homes throughout history. I'd be interested in staying at the Bed and Breakfast and seeing if something has survived this makeover. I hated the house had to succumb to this fate. But, what other options did it have? People don't really care for History.

This SM is very bright. It is very clean. The hallways wider than usual. I had coffee in Starbucks, bought a ton of books in Booksale and had lunch in Maxs.

As a person who loves the history of things, I recommend this place, it can tell a lot about the history of Silay, the affluent families of the past and how the house survived the ravages of time.
