Creativity is part of Escolta.

The First United Building Community Museum (FUBCM) is an ongoing project to honor the memory of its well-loved patriarch Sy Lian Teng. It is a repository of artifacts, objects, memories and dreams to preserve and remember his life. From these narratives, Escolta's revitalization efforts and other significant information are also conveyed. Together, we can bridge these stories from the past, experiences of the present and hopes for the future. You are part of this community... help us concretize this space through your support and involvement


Permanent Collection
The FUBCM collection is comprised of memorabilia that were owned and used by Sy Lian Teng-- like photos, equipment, documents and other personal items. It also showcases Escolta's environs through archival photos and articles culled from various periods. ExChange Space
The ExChange Space is a small nook where talks, discussions, presentations and screenings are held. It is programmed to help enrich the community of pressing issues, concerns and strategies. The WALL promotes this through its temporary exhibitions. This helps encourage imagination and resourcefulness amongst creatives who would like to be part of Escolta's revival efforts. FUBCM Digital Archive
This is dedicated to archiving the artifacts, objects, photos, documents, materials and files in relation to Sy Lian Teng, Escolta Street and other related matters. The accumulated material can be accessed by researchers, history buffs, heritage advocates, interested parties and future generations.
