A delightful fortress

Ayala Museum
"Museums should be places where you raise questions,
not just show stuff."
~William Thorsell, past Director & CEO of the Royal Ontario Museum

This is the side of the Ayala Museum which can be seen from the park in the middle of Greenbelt. Only the ground floor has windows. The windows on the second floor do not open to the museum but to a walkway connecting two of the buildings of the mall. Other than that, the rest of the building looks like a fortress, and it probably is, given the priceless artifacts exhibited in the museum. One of their permanent exhibits is Filipino garments from the 19th century, some of which are painted on the walls of the walkway.

See murals from around the world in Monday Mural.

It certainly has a fortress mentality to it.

I don't think I've been to the Ayala Museum.

Love that quote today! This looks like an interesting museum.

Makes me fel better about showing a mural I have now. Can see the mural you mentioned through the windows

It's hard to tell if the mural is on the windows or on a wall inside the museum. This perceptual puzzle is engaging. Sorry for the Linky problem on Monday Mural.

Love it! Especially the pool of water outside. Displays inside are nicely framed.

Sharon said...

I'm betting there are beautiful things inside that building.

It does have the appearance of a fortress. The greenery and water around it soften the harshness.

On 1 May (Theme Day, Squares) You asked could you sit on the green squares, yes you can.
Cheers.

Considering the thefts that have taken place from other museums because they weren't vigilant about security I'm certain the museum directors sleep better at night knowing they're fortress is impenetrable (or I hope it is).

The fortress approach of Ayala Museum is an intriguing factor. It seems that the there are priceless art works worth protecting. With this factor, you tend to come in. When inside, you will be surprised with the collection and would be proud of the Philippine Heritage.

Hello to every one out here, am here to share the unexpected miracle that happened to me. MY NAME IS Dickson Walter,i live in TEXAS,USA.and I`m happily married to a lovely and caring wife,with two kids A very big problem occurred in my family seven months ago,between me and my wife so terrible that she took the case to court for a divorce she said that she never wanted to stay with me again,and that she did not love me anymore So she packed out of my house and made me and my children passed through severe pain. I tried all my possible means to get her back,after much begging,but all to no avail and she confirmed it that she has made her decision,and she never wanted to see me again. So on one evening,as i was coming back from work,i met an old friend of mine who asked of my wife So i explained every thing to her,so she told me that the only way i can get my wife back,is to visit a spell caster,because it has really worked for her too So i never believed in spell,but i had no other choice,than to follow her advice. Then she gave me the email address of the spell caster whom she visited.(AKHERETEMPLE@gmail.com}, So the next morning,i sent a mail to the address she gave to me,and DR AKHERE assured me that i will get my wife back the next day what an amazing statement!! I never believed,so he spoke with me,and told me everything that i need to do. Then the next morning, So surprisingly, my wife who did not call me for the past seven {7}months,gave me a call to inform me that she was coming back So Amazing!! So that was how she came back that same day,with lots of love and joy,and she apologized for her mistake,and for the pain she caused me and my children. Then from that day,our relationship was now stronger than how it were before,by the help of a spell caster . So, i will advice you out there to kindly CONTACT this wonderful man Dr AKHERE,if you are in any condition like this,or you have any problem related to "bringing your ex back. So thanks to dr akhere for bringing back my wife,and brought great joy to my family once again.DR AKHERE, Thanks..for bring joy and happiness to my 

family ones again thanks if you need his help email him :

Hi, Miss Hilda.

I have been an avid fan of your blog since 2010. I remember I would check your web website almost daily to see if you have posted a new entry. Your posts about Intramuros and its environ has inspired me to explore the city and take pictures myself. Since then, I made it a mission to visit Intramuros and nearby places yearly (every January) with friends who has the same interest. For some reason, I just suddenly remembered your blog after not being able to visit for years and I thought of checking if you have made new posts. Sadly, its still showing 2014 as the last year you made posts. I hope you are doing well and just took a break from blogging.

Sincerely,
Mark
