Hofileña Ancestral House
A privately owned ancestral house museum in Silay, with works by renowned Filipino artists and antiques. The family descendants give lively guided tours.
The Hofileña Ancestral House was built in 1934 and is one of the few historic houses in Silay still lived in by its family. The owners have collected paintings by renowned Filipino artists such as Juan Luna and Félix Resurrección Hidalgo, as well as prints by Picasso and Goya, plus many antique furnishings and religious sculptures. It is considered one of the finest private collections in the Philippines. Visits usually require an appointment and are led by a family member. Tickets cost about 100 pesos. It is only about 300 metres from Balay Negrense, so the two can be visited on foot in one trip.
