A Wonderland in the Metro: Pinto Art Museum




Have you ever been in a place where you feel like you've stumbled upon some place like wonderland? A place you expect to find at the end of a rabbit hole?


 




Pinto Art Museum boasts artworks that are done by Filipino artists.

It is not your typical museum where you just walk in and stare at paintings. This place is unique in a lot of ways. For one, they have artworks exhibited outside. They also have this one whole room that is turned into a forest. There's this little corner where you can write love letters and just leave it there. And there are a lot more stuff you will not find in your average art gallery.








There were even some cozy little spots where you can just enjoy the calm and quiet of the place. There were also beds and couches placed randomly around. They looked a little out of place, almost as if somebody just left them there unintentionally, but at the same time, they looked like they weirdly belong in the scenery. It was almost as though they were telling the visitors that they could just drop and start making their own masterpieces, whenever and wherever inspiration found them.






What I also liked about most of the exhibits was that they seemed to reflect something about both the old and new societies. Some were very bold and fearless. It seemed as if the artists really exhausted all possible interpretation of how art can be used to express oneself. And needless to say, it left a really strong impression on me. Pinto Art Museum is truly a haven for those who love art.
