It was gloomy when we came here. I guess, the place is more beautiful when it's sunny. Nevertheless, I am thankful it didn't rain.
The museum consists of 6 art galleries which have different artworks by local artists.
What to do here? Mainly, art appreciation.
The brightness of the surroundings surely cast the negativity away.
Some artworks inside the gallery.
Me to Ate: You want brain? Hahaha!
Tip: Don't just take random photos because the artwork is nice. Take time to inhale the beauty and the meaning behind it.
Like, this one. For me, it speaks so much of the Lord sustaining us despite all the war and troubles done by us, the humankind. It also tells us that this world is gonna end if we keep on destroying it and the Lord will renew it. The question now, would you want to see our home worsen? Or will we help God in sharing the light to make our home the home He desired us to have?
For if we zoom in, we can see Jesus, which means He was sent not to condemn us, but to save us. But again, He can't keep tolerating us. The end is gonna come sooner if we don't change. The best thing to do now is to live a life of purpose for only Him knows when will that end be.

This has a story to tell, too.
This gallery has different paintings about the different ways to eat pandesal.
I was delighted because I like breakfasts! Can I bring one painting, please? Haha.
This place is truly full of instagrammable spots. So, prepare your camera and your best pose.

We went here at 10 am and it took us 2 hours to finish touring the area. It was very warm since it was already noon. Thus, I suggest going here earlier or late afternoon if you want to avoid too much warmth.
We ended our tour with a delicious meal in Pinto Art Cafe. If you're here, don't miss it. The ambiance is 10/10 and the food is 10/10 too.
We ordered their best-selling Vigan Pizza and the Mediterranean pasta.
As what I've observed, other than us and other tourists, some were just locals coming over for the cafe which proves it is a place for a get-away.
You might want to wear something white and blue to blend in with the museum.
OOTD Deets:
Top (thrifted) 25 pesos
Shorts (thrifted) 5 pesos
Belt Bag: Parisian
Last three thoughts:
- Will I go back? It's fine not to. It's like a place you can get satisfied with a one-time-visit.
- Everyone is artistic. Don't forget to wake that side of yourself for you to truly see the artwork more than its appearance.
- Impressions on Antipolo City: A small, peaceful, and organized city
THAT'S A WRAP!
radiating sunshine,
