The Music Museum Group
The Music Museum Group began with the Music Museum in 1988. Kuh Ledesma’s trailblazing concept of a full-entertainment theater that was also a dining place was a dream come true for both performers and audiences alike.
A fire gutted it to the ground in 1992, but in just two years, not only was a new, better Music Museum up on the same spot, a whole new complex of shops, kiosks, dining places, food courts and cinemas made this part of Greenhills a lifestyle destination
Today, besides the Music Museum, there is Shoppesville Plus, a unique shoppping enclave for hobbyists and shoppers of specialty items, gadgets and techie . Theater Mall, a sprawl of shops, kiosks, dining places, two cinemas and a food court where the old Greenhills Theater used to be. The Promenade, a mirror image of Theater Mall across the plaza that is a bigger turf for shopping, lifestyle pursuits, dining, snacking, and watching movies. Teatrino, a cozy, versatile and adaptable theater that is launch place, party place, concert venue, private theater party place, and more. And the luxurious, viewer-friendly Greenhills Cinemas (2 at Theater Mall and 6 at the Promenade) where movie buffs can enjoy the latest movies and special showings in comfortable and luxurious surroundings, with a big plus : movies screened in Dolby Atmos, the most advanced sound technology in the world, at Cinemas 6, 7 and 8.
Thus, Music Museum – the brave theater concept that started it all – is now the Music Museum Group, a complex of shops, dining places, lifestyle products, services and moviehouses that have made Greenhills a must-experience destination for theater and concert aficionados, movie enthusiasts, bargain seekers, shopaholics, foodies, hobbyists, even church goers. (Religious services are also held at The Music Museum, Theater Mall, the Promenade and Teatrino.)
This is the group that reinvented Greenhills into the most exciting part of San Juan City.
HISTORY
The Music Museum concept was way ahead of its time. In the late 80’s, its founder, Kuh Ledesma – the famous music diva – wanted to give local audiences a taste of New York and Las Vegas in little doses, with some historical flair thrown in.
Kuh wanted a theater restaurant where people could listen to music, watch theater, laugh, be carried away, and appreciate the wealth of Filipino artistry that was world-class in quality.
On August 8, 1988, the Music Museum was born. It was a music-themed restaurant with a theater gallery built around the stage. Guests could sip drinks and eat cocktail food while being entertained by excellent performances. On the walls were ensconced memorabilia from past stunning performances by the country’s best artists. Nora Aunor’s “Tawag ng Tanghalan” trophy is enshrined there. Randy Santiago’s jacket, Gary Valenciano’s first dancing shoes, the Apo Hiking Society first entertainment contract, and Liza Macuja’s first ballet shoes hang on the walls.
It was the first theater of its kind in Manila – definitely ahead of Planet Hollywood in making music memorabilia the decorative accents of the place.
Since its birth, Music Museum has been the stage for countless Filipino talents expressing or interpreting the vibrancy of Filipino pop culture. The Music Museum has showcased treasures of performances from famous and upcoming singers, talented musicians, the hottest stage acts, the best bands, ensembles and stand up comedians. It has launched the names and careers of countless performers, featured foremost entertainers at their peak. It was an active, high-spirited, convivial hub of music, art, entertainment and fun. It is an institution in the entertainment industry.
In 1990, when Kuh Ledesma was thinking of bringing her act abroad, she sold The Music Museum to her good friend Precy Florentino. Although hesitant at first to take on such an enormous responsibility, Precy and some trusted associates bought The Music Museum and took over its management.
But changes were in store. Only a few months after taking over, the Music Museum was hit by fire,; almost all of the valuable memorabilia went up in smoke. Things seemed hopeless for a while, and the new owners did not know where and how to start. But letters from friends, patrons, music lovers, theater aficionados and fans poured in, asking when Music Museum would go up again, begging the new owners to bring back the well-loved, hard-working little theater that had made the popular arts come alive in this part of the City.
That Music Museum again went up, piece by piece, block by block, with new equipment and shiny memorabilia being collected to again give the theater-gallery its soul, is a testament to the love and passion of its owners for what the Music Museum stands for.
In just a year’s time, Music Museum reopened and resumed the lively, artful activities within its walls. It is today, bigger than ever, better than ever – and still unequaled in this part of town.
But the Music Museum is no longer just The Music Museum. It has grown into a more active hive of entertainment, leisure activities, shopping, dining, gaming and more! In 2002 the Theater Mall – a cluster of shops, dining places, kiosks, nooks and theaters – was added to Music Museum to give visitors more things to see and do in the Greenhills area. The old Greenhills Theater was dressed up and transformed into two new state of the art cinemas. The Promenade was added up in 2005, with more cinemas, more shops, more dining places to give everyone – no matter what age or gender – something pleasurable and memorable to do in Greenhills. Teatrino, which joined the group in 2006 made Greenhills an even more irresistible destination for entertainment and lesiure seekers.
But it all started with the Music Museum – the inspiration for all things nice, all things excellent, all things inspiring, rewarding and fun.

Check that out as you also take a trip back in time to the days when movie theaters were entertainment palaces. The new Promenade cinema lobby has the grandeur of movie theaters of the 50s and 60s.

Towering palm trees, mood lighting, and wrap- around giant posters of Oscar Best Pictures that adorn the lobby complete the luxe treatment in our cinemas. Even the rest rooms are ritzy and artful…
