MUSEUM DAY, ANY DAY! 🏛️
October is officially Museums and Galleries Month in the Philippines, following Presidential Proclamation No. 798, signed in 1991, which designated October for the annual celebration and named the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) as its lead agency.
The month-long observance highlights the role of museums and galleries in preserving and promoting Philippine art, history, culture, and heritage.
Looking for a budget-friendly way to celebrate? Several museums around Metro Manila offer free admission, including the National Museum of Fine Arts, the National Museum of Anthropology, the National Museum of Natural History, the Museo ng Katipunan, and the Museo ng Makati.
