I had a chance to visit this museum a few days ago. The kids have expressed their interest to tag along, but as much as I want to bring them to the launching, I simply can’t, it was a coverage and mommy needs to work.
I had a great time during the museum tour and enjoyed meeting young artists Nikki Luna and Ernest Concepcion at the launching of their exhibit. Interviewing them (with other bloggers) was a wow moment for me. It’s not just the hanging arts that impressed me, but the subtle meaning behind the drawings and installations as explained by the artists themselves. (Nikki Luna, for example, is supporting a social cause. How I love to do a separate and lengthy interview with her on that topic.)
It was an educational event for me. I only regret that I suck at taking pictures. Here are some pictures I took inside the museum. Pardon the blurry and dark shots, we were not allowed to use the flash. 🙁
