We are now accepting registration for JUNIOR MUSEUM GUIDES 2016 happening on May 17-21 and 24-28, 2016!

Vargas Museum joins the world in celebrating 2016 International Museum Day by holding a nine-day museum training for children. This year, JMG highlights the museum as a place of interaction among many kinds of cultures and peoples. The theme for 2016 as set by the International Council of Museums (ICOM) is “Museum and Cultural Landscapes.”

JMG 2016 is for children 8 to 12 years old. The workshop will be held for two weeks from Tuesday to Saturday, 1 to 5 pm. The lessons that the junior museum guides will learn are basic museum practices: docenting inside galleries, documenting and handling of museum objects, and planning of an exhibition. Hands-on art activities for this year are the following: Drawing and Comics-Making by Manix Abrera, Printmaking by Angelo Magno and Mars Bugaoan and Paper Art by Dexter Sy and LJ Ablola. A graduation cum exhibition opening will culminate the JMG activities on the tenth day. The 11th edition of JMG is supported by Friuli Trattoria.

@upvargasmuseum and @metmuseummanila open two new shows on 21 April, Saturday, 4:00 p.m at the ground floor galleries of the MET. "Fascination with Filipiniana: The Vargas Museum Collection" and "In the Wake of War and the Modern: Manila, 1941 to 1961" feature the comprehensive collection of the Jorge B. Vargas Museum and Filipiniana Research Center of the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City. Drawing reference from the collection’s roots, "Fascination with Filipiniana: The Vargas Museum Collection” examines the artworks and archives that comprise the Vargas Museum collection, and Jorge B. Vargas’ place in the history of Philippine art and culture. Fascination, a translation of his compound fondly called Kawilihan, not only alludes to Vargas’ instinct, habit and passion for collecting, but also includes the word “nation,” a discourse relevant to him at a time when he was both a government official and a collector. "In the Wake of War and the Modern: Manila, 1941 to 1961" explores how the collections of the Vargas Museum and the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas interconnect, and the historical context that surrounds their respective formations. Framed by the years when Vargas was appointed Mayor of Manila, until the time when he became Regent of the University of the Philippines, the period also marks the emergence of both the modern and the so-called “Mabini Art” from Manila before, during, and after the Pacific War. "Fascination with Filipiniana: The Vargas Museum Collection" and "In the Wake of War and the Modern: Manila, 1941 to 1961" will run until July 21, 2018 For more information, please contact the Metropolitan Museum of Manila at 708.7829 or send an email to info@metmuseum.ph.
