Museums are institutions that display art which can also be considered as national treasures because of its importance to a place’s history. Hence, a lot of artworks are actually very old and are on display for exhibition’s sake. Yes they can be bought and they have monetary value but very seldomly and only to a select clientele. Gallery holds regular exhibitions and is more commercial in nature. They aim to sell artwork to collectors to earn a profit. Can gallery display non- sellable art? Yes but only occasionally since they are privately only owned, hence they base their capital on the sales during their shows. MUSEUM AND GALLERY ETIQUETTES Quick Facts: Some terms used when mounting artwork: Wall bound – the artwork is installed mainly on a wall and is applicable mostly, but not limited, to two-dimensional works. Free standing – has no support underneath because the artwork can stand on its own. On pedestal – a neatly furnished rectangular-prism type of wood is used to raise small and medium-sized sculptures to hip-level point of view. MUSEUM AND GALLERY ETIQUETTES What are the proper behavior inside a museum and galleries?  MUSEUM AND GALLERY ETIQUETTES  How you dress – It does not always have to be too flashy or formal. Some special events in galleries and museums like opening receptions may be more special than regular days, hence people would usually dress in formal attire. However, on a normal day museum or gallery visitors can dress casually. Wear clothes which would show respect to such settings.  Where should you eat – Some museums have cafes-the only areas where you are allowed to eat. In galleries, eating is only appropriate during openings and cocktails are usually served. However, these are not supposed to be full meals; they are just light snacks, so eat lightly and in the spaces designated for eating.  MUSEUM AND GALLERY ETIQUETTES  When taking photos – avoid using flash photography because the light could affect the vibrancy of a painting’s color. Some paints are light- sensitive and they also naturally fade over time. Do not speed up the fading process by using the flash when clicking the camera.  Selfies and funny poses – In museums, a lot of paintings and artifacts are deeply venerated for their depictions of some of the most important pains and victories of a country or region. Hence, our behavior should also be properly coordinated.  Talking and jesting – it is definitely okay to talk and discuss some artworks, but if your voice is louder than normal, then it could distract and disturb other gallery visitors.  MUSEUM AND GALLERY ETIQUETTES  Touching – Some contemporary art these days are meant to be touched, but most works are NOT. Our fingers have sweat glands which can affect the chemical properties of a painting or sculpture’s surface. Human sweat can be acidic and this can have deteriorating effects on a work of art. KNOWING THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF THE PHILIPPINES  KNOWING THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF THE PHILIPPINES The National Museum is a public space and is meant to be visited by us, the Filipino people. It was mandated in the year 1998 to acquire, document, preserve, exhibit, and foster scholarly studies and public appreciation of works of art, specimens, and cultural and historical artifacts representative of our unique cultural heritage and natural history.  It has 19 regional branches throughout the archipelago comprising the national network.  The museum areas are in complex: The National Art Gallery was formerly the Legislative building by the Senate and House of Representative (lower ground then functioned as National Library; the National Museum of Anthropology (old finance building), and the newly-renovated National museum of Natural History (formerly the Department of Tourism building)  The architectural design of the buildings are neoclassical style  Came to reality by virtue of the National Museum Act of 1998 KNOWING THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF THE PHILIPPINES National Museum of Fine Arts KNOWING THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF THE PHILIPPINES National Museum of Anthropology KNOWING THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF THE PHILIPPINES National Museum of Natural History KNOWING THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF THE PHILIPPINES This DNA-type helix structure is right at the center of the Museum of Natural History.

During the Aquino government, many reforms in the once Marcos-controlled institutions like the CCP, National Museum, and Metropolitan Museum of Manila were implemented. The three primary reform thrusts of the CCP were Filipinization, democratization, decentralization, and artistic excellence. Because of this, some marginalized artists and art groups during the Marcos regime were given opportunities to display their works to the public. Filipino masses also had more access to the art collections and grants were given to those who aspired to produce and exhibit original works from their local areas.  THE CONTEMPORARY TIMES To give more recognition to artist and folk artists who are important pillars of the society’s notion of patriotism, the government reestablished awarding systems through the National Artist award, Gawad CCP para sa Sining, Gawad sa Manlilikha ng Bayan for Philippines traditional arts, and the revived CCP Thirteen Artists Awards. Private bodies also developed their own awards systems and have helped in discovering, promoting, and supporting emerging artists of the whole archipelago. These include the Ateneo Art Awards, Philippine Art Awards of the Philip Morris Group of Companies, Metrobank’s M.A.D.E. competition, and others.  THE CONTEMPORARY TIMES  BenCab – National Artist for Visual Arts-Benedicto Cabrera has works which span a lot of important periods in our history, especially the post-war period. One of his work series entitled “Sabel” depicts the disorientation that Filipinos experienced during the post-war period.  David Medalla – “The avatar in Europe in performance art,” as described by art critic Leo Benesa. Performance art is one of the new artistic expressions of the contemporary period where the artist himself is the artwork.  Pacita Abad – One of the women artists in the country that has produced a strong voice and identity when it comes to women’s art. Born in Batanes, her works are characterized by bold and bright colors. She has traveled to more than 50 countries with works exhibited to more than 200 galleries.  THE CONTEMPORARY TIMES  Elmer Borlongan – Painter of Filipino nuances which he depicted with much dignity in his masterful works. His paintings are mostly figurative with subject matters that tackle mostly the daily and mundane activities and interactions of Filipinos. He is one of the most exceptional in the aspect of painting in our country.  Mark Salvatus – Salvatus has created much discourse and narratives in his works on the notion of urbanization, internet, and technological age, with political, social, and economic grounding. His works are considered intermedia, combining mark-making, sounds, videos, and found objects in his works.  Leeroy New – One of the youngest recipient of Thirteen Artists Awards, Leeroy is an artist of his own, known mostly for his installation art that are often other- worldly with an alien feel. He pioneered the “Aliens of Manila,” which are curated photographs of people wearing his creations of bodysuits and headgear.  THE CONTEMPORARY TIMES  Archie Oclos – He has always been active in the public sphere, painting murals depicting social realities of both the present and the memories of the past governments. He was recently awarded one of the Thirteen Artists of CCP  Mars Bugaoan – A young and emerging artist whose works echo the displacement that we often experience because of the demands of work and globalization. His works have evolved from printmaking to being sit- responsive, incorporating the landscape of the site into the installation of the art piece. THANK YOU!
