Gateway to culture and arts of the City in the Sky. Evidenced by this popular Pinto Art Museum. This has been the talk of the town and a go-to place of art enthusiast and even by millennials for its being picturesque and Instagram worthy atmosphere. This is not just a trip, but this is an experience.

Going to the beach and soak our body on water to battle the scorching hot season is a typical thing to do on a summer. And that leads me to think of a different way to cool down, this is a kick-off of my summer activity.

Visual arts are all over the place. And you will not just see them, but feel each in every paintings. It says something, it will teach you, will inspire you and even touch you.

How breathaking the ambience is. Please take me back!
This place is also ideal for debut and prenup pictorial.

Another one I love about this place is the idea of having a chapel inside the museum. Where you can do some reflection and recollection.

It takes one to know one, is not applicable in here. Because you don’t need to be an artistic to appreciate one. With the load of art displayed, for sure there’s one art for you.

Cafe Rizal

When your eyes is full of visual arts. It’s now time to fill your tummy, there’s Café Rizal.




Art in this museum is not limited on some piece, you’ve got to experience too the art of carving. This is a confirmation of how vast the art is, even on earlier time. Considering the very limited resources, it looks like it never stopped them.

We were just having fun back then. Picture here, picture there.

This is probably one of my favorite photo of mine. Haha
