Posted by Elena Campos | August 14, 2012, 7:46 pmGood day!
May I ask if Vargas Museum is accepting requests for it to be a venue for an educational field trip? The local state university, in which I was formerly employed in, is hoping to make Vargas Museum part of their itinerary during one of their educational field trips this August 2012. They are planning to send a request letter probably within the week. They’ve approached me to inquire about said concern because I’m an alumnus of the College of Arts and Letters.
Hoping to hear from you regarding the aforementioned concern.
Thank you very much and more power!
Sincerely,
KHC

Posted by Jorge B. Vargas Museum | June 5, 2012, 5:42 pmI have seen the Philippine diorama history several years ago. Is the Vargas Museum where I saw this exhibit?
Posted by Keith Kennedy | February 15, 2012, 4:29 pmWe don’t have that exhibit. Probably it’s the National Museum or Ayala Museum.
Posted by Jorge B. Vargas Museum | February 21, 2012, 2:42 pmDear Dr Flores,
Ms Meah See of Bahay Tsinoy would like to bring her students (high school) there for a tour. She was wondering if the Vargas Museum can also give a talk on art as it reflects history, especially Philippine history. Ms See recalls seeing a timeline of Philippine art in one of the galleries there. Her contact details are meahsee@gmail.com and 09178226324.
Thank you in advance for the assistance.
Sincerely,
Mary Ann Josette E. Pernia
