The 14 oil paintings depicting scenes of the Iloko peasants’ Basi Revolt of 1807 are housed in this gallery at the South Wing of the Old Carcel Museum.

Done in 1821 and attributed to Vigan mestizo Esteban Pichay Villanueva, these are the only pieces of artworks in the country that portray details of a historical event in a series. In 2009, the National Museum of the Philippines collectively declared these paintings as National Cultural Treasure especially for their significance in reflecting an important era in the nation’s art history.
