National Museum of the Philippines
National Museum of the Philippines or also known as the Pambansang
Museo ng Pilipinas is a government institution in the Philippines which is located at Taft Ave, Ermita, Manila, 1000 Metro
Manila near the Rizal Park.
This place serves as an educational, scientific
and cultural institution that preserves numerous permanent national
collections. This museum also features ethnographic, anthropological,
archaeological and visual artistry of the Philippines.
My friends and I decided to spend our weekend together in
National Museum. One of the reasons why we went there is because they have a
promo, the entrance fee is free, and we heard that the paintings, artifacts,
and other things there are really great. And that's true, it's really great and
one of my friend said, "Today we look like a geek." Indeed, we really
look like a geek that time because the things that we don't know yet really
amazed us. Like the facts and histories of the things that were being placed
there.
This museum is actually big with a lot of floors and each
floors represent something. What I like about museums like this is that it
preserve and showcase the most valued artifacts that represent the cultural
heritage of the Filipinos. With the help of places like these, you can
visualize the artistry of the Philippines from the
prehistoric period to the modern times. Being
in this place will make you feel like you are traveling from past because the
artifacts present here are the ones used by our ancient and it makes me feel
proud to them that they were able to survive those times without the help of
technology that is present now a days.
If you
have time, visit it with your family, friends, love ones, and others. Also a
reminder, that don't forget to visit the Spoliarium, it is a painting by a
known Filipino artist named Juan Luna located at
the other building which is just near in National Museum. We forgot to go there
and it's very disappointing because we heard that painting holds a lot of
meaning in the Philippine history. But we promise to each other
that if we have time, we will visit it again and explore the different museums
present in the area.
