We’ve first meet at the C-Mart in Pureza Street and then ride a G-Liner Bus. It takes only 45 minutes to travel to go there. The National Museum was located at P. Burgos Street, Manila which is near Luneta Park. The National Museum structure was inspired by a Greek Architecture which resembles like a Parthenon Temple and the color of the building was peach. Our batch was initiated for searching and making this segment for paintings. <br />The first building (Left Side) includes the artifacts gathered from the history of this Spanish battleship when it clashed with the Dutch ship Mauritius on December 14, 1600 just off Manila Bay where it sank bringing down countless artifacts represented on display… such as ceramics, coins, potteries, jewelries, armaments and other numerous objects. There were also an ancient navigational instrument and the book that contains the historical account of the San Diego, “Sucesos de las Islas Filipinas”, written by Antonio de Morga, the commander of the fateful ship. There was also a gallery known as “The Origin (Pinagmulan)” which presents information on the origins of the Philippine Islands and the Filipino nation. The exhibition focuses on the four periods of Philippine pre-history: Paleolithic; Neolithic; Metal; and Ceramic Age. Others are Archaeological Treasures (Kaban ng Lahi), The Filipinos and Their Rich Cultural Heritage (Kinahinatnan), and Cloth Traditions.<br />
