There are 3 sections of the National Museum:
NM of Fine Arts
NM of Anthropology
NM Planetarium (except for the Planetarium which is closed on Sundays).
I would recommend you to go as early as 10:00AM at a weekday or Saturday, so that you’ll be able to see all the Galleries.
I’m sure as kids we were sent here for field trips, it feels so distant isn’t it? So let me take you back there and see what our Museum has installed for us. Anyway this is way better than staying inside your houses during these days, right?
So these are some things to see/do in National Museum:
This entire art collection constitutes a large portion of the artistic patrimony of the nation and one of our legacies to the coming generations. Now totaling 1,032, the collection is composed of easel paintings, sculptures, icons, sketches and mixed media, and span the 18th century to the late 21st century. All are inventoried, accounted for and certified by the Commission on Audit.

Seeing these stuff give me the nostalgia feels. As I walk through the hallways, I really felt the tranquility of the place.

There are more to see! I couldn’t put everything you will see there or else you’ll be reading a very long post. I hope giving you some of them would tickle your interest of going there. Spend the whole day and take your time there, you won’t regret it. :)
