Inside the museum, you can find different things that are related to tsinoys. Their culture was also exhibited there.
We could see what it looks like inside houses of early tsinoys. From what it seems, early tsinoys here in the Philippines also adopted some designs and architecture of our old houses. (They almost seem to look like ordinary traditional Filipino houses, wow)
The picture in the top is what their bedroom and kitchen looked like. The bottom picture shows their sala.
They were involved in the early economy of the Philippines. Tsinoy businessmen grew in number, such that the Spaniards started to distrust them, leading to massacres and harassments.
Because of this, they formed institutions. They built their first school and hospital. They also involved themselves in the revolution, one of them is Jose Ignacio Paua, who joined General Emilio Aguinaldo's army.
The museum also exhibits Pocelain Collections, these Chinese ceramics age from 10th to 17th century was recovered throughout the Philippine archipelago.
All of these shows that Tsinoys have a great contribution in our Philippine history.
