Ex Libris Philippines: The Rizal Collection at the Yuchengco Museum

To continue with the Jose Rizal trend from yesterday, here's a reel from my recent visit to the 4th floor of the Yuchengco Museum (with the beautiful kundiman - or the Philippine art song - of Francisco Santiago sung by Celeste Legaspi as background).


We have a portrait of the author of NOLI ME TANGERE & EL FILIBUSTERISMO ("Noli and Fili" for short) painted by Felix Resurreccion Hidalgo. As you see, the novels have been translated into several languages.

But apart from the 2 revolutionary novels, Rizal is also famous for the poem he wrote on the eve of his execution...
