According to him, it might require around a week of going to the museum religiously before one completely sees all the exhibits.“The exhibits that have been put out, the way that they have been presented, the curation of the different artifacts, it has been done in such a splendid fashion that it would require perhaps a week of coming here everyday to properly see it,” he said.
“I am a museum type of person, so I tend to spend days in museums and I think so will you,” he added. Marcos — a self-confessed frustrated scientist — toured the National Museum in Cebu for over an hour after the ribbon-cutting ceremony.The President was seen listening intently to curators who explained the artifacts displayed, from excavated prehistoric animal remains, rock formation samples obtained in the region, bones of early humans in the area, and the tools that they used.
“Built of reinforced concrete, the Aduana embodies American-influenced architecture while incorporating local building traditions,” NMP said.Subscribe to our daily newsletter
