[MGM]Week 4

As the National Museum of the Philippines gears toward a universally inclusive and accessible museum, the Botany and National Herbarium will conduct a “Senior Citizens in Nature Art Workshop” which aims to engage the elderly in nature-based activities that will enhance their appreciation of other significant use of plant structures, develop new skills for leisure and pastime, and create crafts that may also be utilized for livelihood. Selected members of the Office of Senior Citizens Affairs in local government units in Metro Manila will be invited to participate in the workshop with a special guided tour of the National Museum of Natural History on October 25, 2022.

Artifact illustration and reconstruction are important aspects for archaeological interpretation and examination. In celebration of Museums and Galleries Month this October, the National Museum of the Philippines (NMP), through the Maritime and Underwater Cultural Heritage (MUCH) Division, will be conducting the MUCH Forum 2022.

The MUCH Forum 2022 is free and will be held on October 26, 2022, via Zoom and Facebook Live from 9:00 AM to 12:00 NN.

In celebration of the Museums and Galleries Month 2022 and in partnership with the research of noted scholar, Dr. Javier Galvan Guijo, we are pleased to present “Las Iglesias de Tierra Roja: Heritage Churches of the Cagayan Valley Region” at the National Museum of Anthropology.

This exhibition highlights the built heritage and enduring artistry of the churches of the Cagayan Valley, including features of archival drawings, architectural documentation, material samples, and exposition on the designs, traditions, and legacies of religious art and architecture in the country. We believe this to be a fitting venue to present to the nation the realities of architectural research that contributes to upholding and preserving unwavering monuments to Philippine-Spanish history and Filipino heritage and identity.

As we celebrate the Museums and Galleries Month this October 2022 (MGM 2022) with this year’s theme “Embracing Uncertainty: Showcasing Solidarity, Hope and Recovery”, the National Museum of the Philippines through the Museum Services Division’s Education and Training Services Section would like to emphasize and recognize the essential function of museum guides who play the big role in engaging and educating museum visitors through launching a new program, the Junior Museum Guide.

This free onsite activity will be offered to a maximum of 30 Junior High School students only, aged thirteen to fifteen (13-15) years old with subjects in Araling Panlipunan, Arts, and Science who are currently enrolled in public or private schools in Manila.
