Yuchengco Museum will have free admission on June 1
Got any plans for the weekend?
If you’re drawing a blank on fun plans, consider spending a day at a museum—whether you're into history, science, or art, it’s a great way to explore new ideas and soak in some culture.
This Sunday, June 1, could be the perfect time to do so as Yuchengco Museum is offering free admission to celebrate the start of the month.
On their social media accounts, the museum detailed that operating hours for the free day are from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. only. Entry points are from the Courtyard Entrance (Ayala Avenue, RCBC Plaza) and the Gil J. Puyat Avenue Entrance (RCBC Plaza).
"Set the tone for an inspired June. Walk in, wander around, and let creativity flow. See you at the museum! Bring a friend or two!" the museum said.
One of the new exhibits that you can enjoy is "Feminist Cartography (Project Panatag: Subjective Mapping of the Philippines)," a display featuring cartographic publications that map a country, region, or city by the inhabitants themselves.
"It’s a form of feminist cartography that challenges the idea of maps as objective or neutral. They reveal how traditional maps often reflect dominant power structures and exclude certain voices. Instead, this form of feminist cartography centers lived experiences, personal stories, and embodied knowledge, especially from women and other marginalized groups," the description from the museum's website read.
The exhibit highlights 36 contributions that are rooted in countries, regions, and cities like Brussels, Amsterdam, Colombia, Hainaut, Hungary, Mexico, the Netherlands, Pakistan, Palestine, Serbia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Other collections that Yuchengco Museum has to offer include artworks from celebrated visual artists, mementos from Jose Rizal's life, and more.
