This study is focused on how a structure can help establish and dignify musical consciousness among the residents of the country. With regards to the recent decline of interest among the Filipino people in Original Pilipino Music. The chosen site in which the structure will stand is located at the Mall of Asia complex as the site is already an established tourist destination and a leisure spot where people tend to spend their time with. The approach of the design of the structure is to let the people interact with the objects being exhibited in order for the whole visit experience to sink in to the visitors. The Goal of the researcher is for the visitors to undergo Active Learning in which they will have a deeper understanding and a deeper connection with our music roots. The Researcher categorized Filipino music through six galleries such as Katutubong Musika Gallery, Folk Song Gallery, Pop Music Gallery, Musikerong Pilipino Gallery, Choir Music Gallery and Pinoy Genre Gallery. The galleries are arranged in a chronological order by time from the past and up to the present.
