@fredc My last visit was in early 2020, just before the lockdown. National Museum of Natural History.Cameras are allowed, but only non-DSLR. If you are going to use DSLR, especially for professional shoots and sessions, you have to get a permit first. The primary reason is, there might be items on display that the owners doesn’t want HQ photos taken.If they don’t allow it today, probably the owner of the latest displays requested it. I haven’t visited since the pandemic started.Oh. One more thing, you may have to check early. Sometimes there are school field trips, and they are given priority when it comes to population control (which rarely happens, since it’s a multi-level museum). But still, a good thing to check beforehand, so no surprises.There are also the National Museum of Anthropology and National Museum of Fine Arts. There is also the National Planetarium. All four are around Rizal Park (Luneta) in the City of Manila (near Intramuros).
