Museo ng Katipunan (transl. Museum of the Katipunan) is a history museum in the city of San Juan in Metro Manila, Philippines dedicated to the Katipunan. It is situated within the grounds of the Pinaglabanan Shrine.

History

The Museo ng Katipunan was opened as the Museo ng Rebolusyon (transl. Museum of the Revolution) on August 30, 1996, during the centennial of the Battle of Pinaglabanan.[1] Prior to 2006, the museum mainly featured the Battle of Pinaglabanan and had pictures, cutouts, and busts of Andres Bonifacio, Emilio Jacinto, and Apolinario Mabini as exhibits. The museum underwent a ₱5 million renovation and was expanded to cover the Katipunan organization as a whole and was re-inaugurated as the Museo ng Katipunan on Bonifacio Day in 2006.[2] It was reconstructed as a modernized museum[3] and was reopened on August 27, 2013.[1]
