Standing at around 100 feet tall, it is the largest clock tower in the Philippines and has become a recognizable symbol of the city. Over the years, it stood not only as a functioning timepiece but also as a silent witness to Manila\u2019s history\u2014from World War II devastation to post-war rebuilding and beyond.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54562847478_ecac4d7092_c.jpg\" alt=\"_DSC0005t\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\"\/><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 11px;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>The entrance to the museum<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Formerly a storage room, the interior was renovated to contain an art gallery, coffee shop, and a museum featuring an exhibit of historical events.

The museum was envisioned as a space to preserve, showcase, and honor the capital\u2019s vibrant past while giving visitors a new perspective on an old icon. They initially offered free access but visitors should make reservations first. However, last March 2024, they implemented new rules. There is now an entrance fee of Php 100 with 50% discount for kids age 12 and below. Walk-ins are also now allowed.<\/p>\n<p>The Manila Clock Tower Museum is open from Tuesday to Sunday from 10 AM to 3 PM, but you may want to check their Facebook Page first for any announcements.

The first floor features a WW2-inspired gallery, the second and the fifth floor feature rotating exhibits. It means that the displays or the items being exhibited are not permanent. So, the painting or the artworks will vary from time to time. The third floor is where the Clock Tower Cafe is located while the Hall of Mayors can be found on the fourth floor.
