You’d surely need more than a day to see everything at the National Museum. The
National Art Gallery holds Juan Luna's "Spoliarium" and Felix Resurreccion Hidalgo's
"El Asesinato del Gobernador Bustamante" (The Assassination of Governor
Bustamante). Other rooms are dedicated to paintings, sculptures, and religious artifacts
dating as far back as the 17th and 19th Centuries. Meanwhile, The Museum of the
Filipino People holds the famous Manunggul Jar, a burial jar discovered in the Tabon
Caves in Palawan. This part of the museum also highlights the diversity of the Filipino
culture-from ancient and traditional script to captivating Muslim wooden art.

Science really does come alive at The Mind Museum. With five well-formulated
galleries-The Atom Gallery, The Earth Gallery, The Life Gallery, The Universe Gallery,
and The Technology Gallery-the museum makes learning fun and interactive for the
whole family. Marvel at the first permanent T-rex exhibit in the country, the mini teaching
planetarium, and the wonders of the "counterintuitive quantum world" among other
equally enjoyable installations. Much like Museo Pambata, The Mind Museum
encourages learning through play with its excellent design and conceptualization.

Malate, Manila
Museum hours: Monday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Apart from its changing exhibits featuring a lot of contemporary artists, the Metropolitan
Museum of Manila also guards a selection of pre-Hispanic gold jewelry and pottery.
From golden barter rings and funeral masks to neolithic jugs and jars, the museum's
collections are a clear depiction of the rich cultural heritage we've inherited from our
ancestors. The museum is also home to the works of Felix Resurreccion Hidalgo and
various pieces of religious art by Filipino artists.
d. Art in Island

Asia’s largest 3D trick art Museum. So many things to see and do—filled
with 3D art, illusions and plenty of fun!
Entrance Fee - P350?
3. Malls:
a. Venice Grand Canal Mall - McKinley, BGC
b. Nuvali - (for TVL?) - feed the Koi Fish / Visit the Wild Life and Bird Sanctuary
Feed the koi fish
One of the most popular activities to do in Nuvali, especially if you’re with kids,
is to feed the koi fish. Solenad, where many restaurants are located, has a large outdoor pond full
of ornamental fish. Koi are omnivorous fish and help keep the lake water clean.
Koi food is designed to float which encourages the fish to come to the surface.
This is the most number of koi fish I’ve seen in one place.
▪ Operating hours: Fish Feeding is open daily from Monday to Sunday 8:00 am to 5:00 pm
▪ Rates: Fish Food costs P15 per bag
Visit the Wildlife and Bird Sanctuary
The Wildlife and Bird Sanctuary is a 17-km long buffer green and forest zone that
provides a haven for 60 species of birds and contains a rich variety of flora and fauna within
Nuvali.
The area contains a biking and jogging trail system along with a gazebo and view
decks for birdwatchers.
▪ Operating hours: Open daily. The best time to go is early morning around 6:00 am to
8:00 am, or late afternoon from 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm.
▪ Rates: Bird Watching at the Nuvali Wildlife Sanctuary is open to the public free of
charge.
▪ Reminders: Getting a guide is not required, but if you want a birdwatching expert/spotter
to join you, register in the Evoliving Center first. Recommended group size: less than 9
people. Pets not allowed. Guests are advised to wear nature-colored colors, because
bright-colored clothes distract birds. Bring your own binoculars or birding telescope.
