De La Salle University-Dasmariñas (DLSU-D, also informally called as "Dasma") is a member institution of De La Salle Philippines located in Dasmariñas, Cavite. It was established on July 18, 1977 as a private nonsectarian tertiary school named General Emilio Aguinaldo College - Cavite and managed by the Yaman Lahi Foundation. In 1987, ownership and management were transferred to Frere Benilde Romançon Educational Foundation Inc., a sister corporation of De La Salle University. It became a Catholic institution under the name De La Salle University - Emilio Aguinaldo College. In 1992, the name DLSU-EAC was changed to De La Salle University - Aguinaldo. In 1997 the institution was renamed again as De La Salle University - Dasmariñas to avoid confusion with the Emilio Aguinaldo College in Cavite.

[edit] Museo De La Salle
Museo De La Salle is a lifestyle museum dedicated to the preservation of certain aspects and material culture of the 19th century Philippine ilustrado lifestyle. The Museo has been realized to encourage its own use in cross-disciplinary learning and growth in an academic environment, and to provide a living space illustrating Philippine culture that is linked to its immediate community, and that reaches out to those outside. Much of the collections inside the museum were donated by DLSU President Emeritus Br. Andrew Gonzalez FSC.
The museum building draws inspiration from the 19th century bahay na bato (house of stone), a two-storey building with stone, brick and mortar structure at the ground level, and usually a wood one at the second level. The emergence of the bahay na bato marked the remarkable lifestyle of the 19th century Christian Philippines. A bahay na bato was filled with fine furniture and objects to showcase the owner's wealth, personal style, and status in society. These examples of material culture now serve to document a range of natural and socio-historical notions.
