Pinto Museum - 3 years after

My first and last visit to Pinto Museum was about 3 years ago.  I was happy to be back last June- in deference to my nephew's request.

It felt both weird and amazing talking about art pieces to a  9 year old boy, who no matter how old he gets, I will always consider as my baby boy. But I am always happy to be part of his learning process. Yes, the boy asked a lot of sensible questions- and shared about what some of the art pieces meant for him. He did enjoy the interactive pieces the most- and yes still enjoyed mounting himself on those "horses" :) .  

So..what's new with the museum?  The art galleries were well maintained but three years saw a lot of improvements in the museum.  For one, where before they almost did not have visitors, they now host around 400 visitors a day according to our guide.  Yes, they now have museum guides to show guests around and to explain some of the significant art pieces in the museum, about the artists and the medium used. And, the entrance fee hiked up to Php 200, from Php100.  The same caterer still manage the cafe  however, they are now in several locations in the museum, and are a lot busier than 3 years back.  

There is also a new cluster of buildings - one which is of Green architecture. My nephew loved this particular area too because of his fascination with Greek mythology.  We did spent a bit talking about the Greek mythology statues - which I felt I needed to review again.

I hope that next time, I will be able to take this boy to other nice museums outside the country!
