New exhibitions await!
Metro Manila is blessed to have a number of museums. Each city has its own space dedicated to showcasing curated art and historical pieces to educate citizens while taking them on a unique cultural experience. One of the must-visit spots in Makati City, for instance, is Ayala Museum. With its variety of historical collections and masterpieces from bygone eras, the museum guarantees a glimpse of the Philippines in yesteryears unlike any other.
If you’ve been wanting to visit the museum, you’re in luck as its opens its doors to guests for free this week. Continuing its celebration of International Museum Day, Ayala Museum is having a free admissions day on May 27, Friday.
“This year's theme ‘The Power of Museums,’ highlighting the power of museums to transform the world around us and bring about positive change to communities,” an official post from the museum says.
Apart from the available galleries, visitors will also be treated to two new exhibitions as it is set to launch Filipinas Heritage Library’s “Liberation: War & Hope” and a narrative extension of the Dioramas of Philippine History called “Diorama Dialogue,” curated by Manuel L. Quezon III.
As part of the new normal, it will also be hosting a free interactive virtual tour as well of the “Dioramas of Philippine History” exhibition through the social platform, Gather.Town!
Safety, of course, is among the top priorities of the museum. To ensure the health of guests, slots for viewing the exhibits will be limited. These will be made available on May 26, Thursday, at 4 p.m. through the Ayala Museum’s website on a first-come-first-served basis.
