I've went to there a lot of tmes now and the artworks still never fails to impress me, most especially the Spoliarium! But I'm pretty sure you've missed a lot of other sections of the museum. I suggest you visit those areas when you return :)
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to go the the National Museum. Somehow, my plans never pan out. Thank you for virtually bringing us to your experience! Lovely shots too. Oo nga, ang ganda ng stairs!
ReplyDeleteI love museum tours, if only i can do it often. The last time i've been here was during my highschool fieldtrip. and that was more than 15 years years ago.. yay!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! If I ever go to the Phillipines I am for sure going to plan on seeing this place. I love modern art and history!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! I've been in the Philippine for 7 years now and still haven't been! I'll definitely have to check it out soon :)
ReplyDeleteWe've been there with the whole family and my favorite room was the Spoliarium, the rest of the room are filled with soooo many paintings. If you are not a true painting lover, you'll pretty much get sleepy haha.
ReplyDeleteIt was sooo long ago when i went at national museum. Can you believe it was during my field trip when i was in elementary? This post is so refreshing. :-)

I missed going to museums! Last time I went was 2009 pa! Will love to bring my grade-schooler one of these days :)
ReplyDeleteAh I really want to visit this place... I saw it when I was on my way to binondo! I'm really planning to visit different places in Manila soon and National Museum is part of it... actually gusto ko din pumunta ng Manila Zoo eh (parang bata lang)
ReplyDeleteI went last month in national museum i was lucky because its sunday, free entrance :)
ReplyDeleteThis really got me interested especially when I saw those gorgeous stairway. Not only will you learn good-to-know stuff about our country's history but you get to see spots that are awesome for photo-ops. IG na to! I have to visit here soon. :)
ReplyDeleteI have deep interests in fine arts and it's a shame for me that I am not yet able to visit the National Museum. I do hope one day I would visit this historical place :)

Amazing sculptures undoubtedly. I never knew about this one
ReplyDeleteI love ceilings and art! Absolutely great pictures! A shame its too far for me to go but thanks for showing it to me like this
ReplyDeleteThe stairs! I have fallen in love with it. Beautiful and Instagram worthy as you say
ReplyDeleteCorregidor will give you more of the back-in-time feeling, seeing the ruins that are preserved is just incredible.
ReplyDeleteI love the stairwell and the architecture of the museum. The chandelier gives a special light to the wall art.
ReplyDeleteThe last time I visited the National Museum was 5 years ago. Many have changed, I guess the walls inside are newly painted already unlike when we last visited. May I ask if the ceiling also improved? - KarenT

ReplyDeleteI really love national museums you get to learn a lot about a place looking around! Really love those stairs and you're right so Instagram
ReplyDeleteWorthy!!
I have never been to the National Museum. It's ... weird because I have been to museums in all countries I have been to, but not here. Sure, I have been to a few others. It's just that I never was taken to this museum by my parents when I was growing up.
ReplyDeleteNational museum is a classic. I always look forward to October when they give free entrance :)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed my first time visiting the National Museum. What I like is the room where they display relics from old churches around the country.
