The Santo Niño Shrine and Heritage Museum, colloquially referred to as the Imelda Marcos Museum, is a building in Tacloban, the Philippines. It was formerly owned by the Marcos family and now houses a museum.[2]
It was built from 1979 to 1981 by then-First Lady and wife of President Ferdinand Marcos, Imelda Marcos.[1] It was among the 20 presidential palaces built during the Martial law era.[2] The property was sequestered by the Philippine government as part of a campaign to recover the Marcos family's ill-gotten wealth. The former residential building was converted to a museum under the management of the Presidential Commission on Good Government and features the collection of Imelda Marcos,[1] as well as artifacts related to the Santo Niño, the city's patron saint.[3]
In 2013, the museum was damaged by Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda). It was later renovated.[2]
