Happy Museums and Galleries Month, everyone! Every October, museums all over the country celebrate Museums and Galleries Month (or MGM). It is our time to honor our nation’s cultural heritage and the institutions that help preserve it. Established through Presidential Proclamation No. 798, s. 1991, this month encourages all of us to appreciate Philippine art, history, and the stories behind our sacred and everyday objects.
It’s a reminder to visit your local museums (especially our National Museum of the Philippines-Dumaguete!), check out or even join an exhibit, or simply reconnect with the past that continues to shape who we are today. Also, this post is meant to commemorate the stye in my right eye. A first! What perfect timing! Great job, Staphylococcus aureus bacterium!
