Have you been to the National Museum?

Do you know that recently the website of the National Museum www.nationalmuseum.gov.ph now features a 360deg virtual panoramic tour of the museum? See for yourself. This actually encouraged me to bring my nieces to the Museum last Saturday just to see the exhibits. It is quite educational and relaxing at the same time!! Closed on Mondays and holidays, the museum open on Tuesday-Sunday from 10AM to 4PM Entrance fee (as of current) is Php100 for adults and Php30 for kids. But on Sundays, it is free for walk ins (not a big group, I guess) It is two buildings (actually 3 if you include the Planetarium). It has airconed rooms to properly preserve the artworks. We entered the museum 11:30AM and walked through the two buildings until 3:30PM!!! We did not linger much on the details of the artwork, information overload :) I would suggest that you first take the virtual tour before you get there, the advantage is that beforehand you can already read its references and history online, so that when you get there it is more on the appreciation side of it. I would definitely go back there. Have you been to the National Museum?
