VISUAL OLYMPIAN AND MONUMENTALIST JOE DATUIN GIFTS FOUR SCULPTURES TO NMP

The National Museum of the Philippines, in a formal turnover ceremony last 21 May 2024, received the latest Gift to the Nation—four sculptures by Joe Datuin.

The four sculptures, namely “Life”, “The Race”, “Dancing Rings Study No. 2”, and “Mother and Child Fusion Series ‘19”, were donated by the artist himself, and will soon be displayed at the “Lilok, Hulma, at Tipon” permanent exhibition at the Philippine Modern Sculpture Hall (Gallery XXIX) of the National Museum of Fine Arts.

On behalf of the Filipino people, we would like to extend our sincerest appreciation and gratitude to Joe Datuin for his generous donation and trust in the National Museum of the Philippines for the safekeeping and display of his magnificent works.
