Elementary School Lessons

If you are looking for a unique place to visit for the long weekends this August, consider going to Pinto Art Museum.

The California Mission-looking architectural structures built amongst trees in a hilly subdivision in Antipolo  houses modern contemporary art by Filipino artists.

Here are some photos albeit not too clear because I forgot to bring my camera, hence only had mobile photos:

chapel

artworks on display in galleries using natural lights

The Rainforest room

go up the rooftop and see the wonders beyond the walls of the museum while delighting on soaking up the sun’s warmth

gallery on walls that look like a home, yes, it is possible to mix a home-y atmosphere and the arts
