A trip to the museum brings out the kid in everyone – marvelling at the art pieces of the masters like Juan Luna’s España y Filipinas at the Lopez Museum and Library or the contemporary art pieces in the Ayala Museum, or be in awe at the rich historical value of the artifacts that gives a glimpse of life before colonial rule. With the collaboration of Jollibee, the country’s leading fast-food chain, and the Museum Foundation of the Philippines, Inc. (MFPI), an organization of advocates and benefactors of the arts, museum trips just became more fun and accessible for kids.
