Intricately constructed scale models and dioramas depict different ethnic groups in their traditional settings, bringing to life the close relationship indigenous communities have with their environments. The museum aims to preserve and pass on the knowledge, traditions and values of the Philippines' remarkable indigenous cultures who inhabited these islands long before colonial times."
