The Museum is home to the collection of art, books, archives, memorabilia, coins, and stamps of Jorge B. Vargas, a significant political figure in the twentieth-century Philippines and an alumnus of the University of the Philippines. An avid collector with a vision of sharing Philippine art with future generations, Jorge Vargas donated the holdings he acquired across his illustrious career in public service, sports, and scouting to his alma mater in 1978. Since it opened its doors to the public in 1987, the UP Vargas Museum has been visited by students, researchers, scholars, and the public. The Museum has galleries for permanent as well as changing exhibitions. The galleries are also spaces for educational events such as workshops, lectures, symposia, walkthroughs, and talks by artists and curators.
