National Museum

I have been wanting to visit the National Museum since last year after learning about their free admissions, for the National Heritage Month. I mean, who doesn't love free anything? Lol. My sister and I were supposed to visit but I was busy with school, so she selfishly decided to go by herself. 

Flash forward to 2015, I don't know why, but the sudden urge to visit was there again. And I finally did!

This eye-catching masterpiece greets you at the front door. Insta-photoshoot! Lol

Spolarium by Juan Luna. Side story: After going around the whole museum, my friend and I went back to the main gallery (aka this room) to rest and came across this group with a tour guide explaining stuff about the Spolarium (which is unfortunately inaudible) but he turned off the lights above it and the painting looked so different! I actually don't know what words to use to describe it but, gosh it felt like the art was talking to me lol.

An unfinished portrait by Fernando Amorsolo

I really loved how they color coordinate the rooms! Maybe to help non-artsy people who just went for photos, remember if they've been there already? Just a theory...

Of course I had to pretend I am trying to decode any symbolism in this grass painting...

They had big windows all over. It was sooo nice especially with the sun light peeping in. A reminder that I have to have big windows in my future home.

It felt like we were in a mini amazing race because we were trying to get ahead of everyone else so we have time to have the room all to ourselves hahaha

This room is so neat! Look at how properly aligned these frames are. Ironically, this shot isn't. Remind me and Clare to bring a photographer friend next time!

My favorite part of the museum! I love how elegant it looks. Less is always more #teamwhite

Should've brought a gown to match this posh room

I think it took us 3 hours to finish the entire place but surprisingly it felt bitin. I guess the museum gods heard us and led us to another museum which is just across! I forgot what it's called and accidentally deleted the few photos I took there (my battery died!). I guess I just have to visit again?
