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]
The Museo ng Katipunan features artifacts which relate to the Philippine Revolution and the Katipunan. The museum includes documents such as cedulas, oaths, membership forms, as well as medals, anting-anting and weapons used by the Katipunan.[1]
