The construction of the Museo ng Muntinlupa commenced on April 25, 2017 with an allotted budget of ₱180 million by the city government. It was initially projected to be finished within a year in time for the centennial celebration of Muntinlupa on December 19 but was completed within almost two years. It was opened to the public on March 1, 2019 coinciding with Muntinlupa's 29th founding anniversary as a city.

The replicas and relics are housed on clear and durable glass panels and you should definitely check out their digital map and scale model of the city that highlights every single barangay of Muntinlupa with different colors and describes them with a little background, statistics and all sorts of infographics. I could gleefully say that Museo ng Muntinlupa feels like a museum built in and for the...
