January 31, 2016, a Sunday, my good friend, Eula and I went to the growing-more-and-more-famous-as-days-pass art museum in my home town, Antipolo City: Pinto Art Museum.
I'll just share the photos and insert captions here and there. Enjoy!
Obviously, this painting intrigued us. And so, we picture. :)
The Rizal Monument in Luneta. Looking closely, the colored dots are people. Lots and lots of them! Rad!
I love taking photos of her taking photos. :)
A really awesome work of art. A mother.
A baby in her womb.
Just me.
The chapel.
Morbidly... interesting. Hehe
The following photos are taken from Gallery 1.
This is one of the two largest paintings in Gallery 1 and probably in all of the Galleries. (I took 2 photos because I suck at using the Panorama feature :P)
I love that they didn't demolish these rocks that are obviously part of the mountain in which the museum now stands. :)
Now we move to Gallery 2.
Looking at this painting, I quickly remembered Occidental Mindoro and how the locals board their tricycles. It's exactly this.
Amazing sculptures in Gallery 2!
I urge you to visit the museum to see how magnificently realistic this painting really is. My phone camera definitely murdered the quality.
The same can be said with this one. It looks like a blown up old photograph when in fact, it's a painting! Mad skills, I tell you!
Found this on the walkway from Gallery 2 to Gallery 3.
Another really interesting piece in the museum can be found in Gallery 3. Classic Filipino belief and tradition. Can you guess the title of this piece?
That's right: Himala
More interesting art pieces and decors.
The Hollow Man.
In awe at how realistic these paintings are.
Dunno how her photos from that angle look like, but I sure like the image from my vantage point. Love the unicorn. :)
Even that Off Limits sign looked like a decor. :)
Nanay.
Outside Galleries 2 and 3 and on the way to Galleries 4, 5, and 6.
Galleries 4, 5, and 6. (We actually didn't know which is which. We didn't see any signage upon entering.)
Spun the roulette and it stopped in between Makunat and Palabiro. Yup! That's me! Haha!
The romantic in me.. <3
The image was crafted using threads.
Rad!
And that's me! Kewl piece of art, this one, no? :)
And now we're out and are trying to chase the sunset.
Went to Cafe Tanaw-An for the sunset.
I took lots and lots of photos, but I assure you, Eula took more! The place is that photogenic, you can't stop yourself from snapping photos!
Here are the photos taken from Eula's camera. I'm just going to say that though she has a better camera, I'm a better shot. (Insert proud face here.)

A few pointers if you're planning to visit the museum.
1. You can board a tricycle from the infamous Antipolo Church. Tell the driver to take you to Pinto Museum. One trip is 50 pesos.
2. Go there early. We reached the museum at a little past 4pm and stayed until quarter to 7pm and still had to rush. If you want to fully enjoy the art museum, you should do better than us late beagles. Heh!
3. Ask around. There are lots of interesting facts and tidbits about the place.
The time we spent in the museum might be short, but we are definitely smitten! We will definitely be back. :)
