Album Info:

If you haven't been on a tour of the National Museum, here's your chance. You'll be pleasantly surprised at how beautiful the two museum buildings are – the former Finance Building and the former Legislative (old Congress) Building, extensively renovated inside, in keeping with their neo-Federal Style architecture outside. The former Legislative Building (old Congress), now the National Gallery of Art, is a formidable journey through 200 years of Filipino arts and sculpture in seven galleries. The most spectacular sight is the gigantic original rendering of The Spoliarium by Juan Luna. We pause here to appreciate and learn how this masterpiece inspired our brave band of Filipino students in Madrid, including Jose Rizal, to alter their lives and help birth a nation. There are fifteen galleries in the Museum of the Filipino People (formerly the Finance building which is adjacent to the old Congress building) for exploring our archaeological past and anthropological present. The highlight is the 1994 recovery of the Spanish galleon San Diego exhibited in four galleries. Their treasures give insights into the incredible 300-year trade that linked us to the Americas. There are also current exhibits to enjoy and learn from. (Taken from http://globalnation.inquirer.net/sosy/so sy/view/20080404-128327/April-Tours-at-t he-National-Museum-and-Art-Gallery)
