The Philippine National Museum is one of the country's uplifter of the culture and history. It is also the one responsible for preserving the country's priceless collection of art stuffs, historical figures and others. Recently, the institution launched a program in its aim to uncover all of the Philippines undiscovered artifacts. They are calling for the citizen, not only for locals also for people around the world because they believe some of the lost artifacts were sold to foreigners in the turn of the century by some treasure hunters.
Just like for example the blade of Andres Bonifacio, the hero of Philippine Revolution against the Spanish colonizers, which is locally called 'tabak', was reported to have been sold to an American antique collector.
For this cause, the National Museum is opening its gate and will display the country's greatest stuffs. This exhibit as what they said is aiming to knock on people's heart and give the lost artifacts back.
Some of the stuffs that will be displayed includes 'The Spoliarium' by Juan Luna, the arts of national artists Botong Francisco and the likes, the old mummy jars of Benguet, the oldest mummified sultan of the ancient tribes and a lot more.
They are also displaying the personal pens, shoes, wardrobes and stuffs of some of the Philippine's presidents.
Memorabilias are expected to be submitted and the institution will credit the person, so what are you waiting for, participate now and help us complete the lost puzzle of our culture and history. The exhibit will be on the 15th of March to the 17th. Admission is free.
