DIG AND HAVE FUN. In celebration of Museum and Galleries Month this October 2022, the NM Marinduque-Romblon will open to the public on October 4, 2022 its interactive corner in the “Submerged History: The Marinduque Shipwrecks” exhibition in the mezzanine gallery.
The exhibition features the recovered artifacts from the underwater archaeological excavations in Gaspar Island, Barangay Pinggan, Gasan such as 16th century CE Chinese stoneware dragon jars as well as Zhangzhou blue-white porcelains. It also features the documentation of wooden ship remains in Barangay Laylay, Boac wherein initial finds suggested that the wreck belongs to a possible Spanish patrol boat dated to the late 18th century based on the type of cannons retrieved from the site. The shipwrecks found in Pinggan, Gasan and Laylay, Boac are direct material evidence of Marinduque’s active participation in local and international maritime trade.
To engage museum visitors with hands-on activity and to promote inclusivity, children can enjoy digging the pieces of ceramics in the sand box and put them together to create a blue and white porcelain which resembles the Zhangzhou ceramics. The interactive corner aims to provide young learners a fun and interactive learning experience and inspire future generations to pursue a career in the field of archaeology.Visit the Submerged History: The Marinduque Shipwrecks” exhibition at your NM Marinduque-Romblon. We are open from Tuesday to Sunday, 9 AM to 4 PM. Admission is FREE. Kindly bring your vaccination card.
