context_page_description: The Galeón: Manila–Acapulco Galleon Museum or the Museo de Galleon is a maritime museum under construction within the SM Mall of Asia complex in Pasay, Metro Manila, Philippines. The museum will feature Manila–Acapulco galleon trade and will also house a full-scale replica of a Galleon within its interior.
context_section_description: An estimate of about ₱250 million will be spent by the SM Group for the museum's construction. Construction began in November 2014 and was initially planned for completion by late 2015. The museum was then planned to be opened in the 2nd quarter of 2016, but the opening date was moved at least three times to the 3rd quarter of the same year, to early 2017, and later to August 8, 2017. The latest given date is planned to be the soft opening of the museum. An architectural firm based in Mexico alongside with architects based in Hong Kong and Florida, United States, were also involved in the project.
  The museum is being built on a 5,000 square meters (54,000 sq ft) lot provided by the SM Group. The museum will have three stories and will measure 65 x60 meters.
