Art Paradise at Pinto Art Museum
A one-hour ride from where I live lies a Santorini-inspired structure called Pinto Art Museum in Antipolo. For a Php 180 entrance fee, Php 100 for students but they must bring their student IDs. You get to enjoy viewing different varieties of art pieces ranging from indigenous to contemporary arts. The paintings and other art structures here will give you an awe-struck, plus, the museum’s ambiance is really relaxing.
Though finding it is quite a challenge for us. Mainly because of our unfamiliarity in Antipolo, but I’ll assure you that visiting this place would be worth it. From the museum’s architecture and landscaping, down to all the art pieces they house, the Pinto Art museum is captivating in every way. Every inch of this place deemed to be photogenic. The moment I set my feet on its grounds, I know, I fell in love.
I’ know that this would be an exciting adventure for us. The simplicity of their entrance is far way beyond of what’s inside.
And so our exploration to Pinto Art Museum began.
There is Café Tan-aw (Pinto Café) inside the museum but it’s a bit pricey though.
But because we can’t bear our hunger anymore, we’ve decided to try the food in Café Tan-aw. We had dessert and two different flavored iced teas and it’s good, it helped us refresh and satisfy our hunger.
Pinto Art Museum is definitely a place where time relives the past. Everything about Pinto Art is stunning. Those artsy and not-so-artsy people who just want to relax and unwind must visit this place. You’ll probably need at least 3 hours to explore and appreciate the estate and all of its artworks. We didn’t feel bored during our stay here in Pinto Art. This is a perfect place to go when you’re already tired going to malls and crowded places.
I think it’s about time to appreciate artworks and other art pieces that made by our fellow kababayans (filipinos). The place is vast and really dares you to explore it. There are not a lot of museums that are like Pinto Art, so I suggest you pay this place a visit. Whether you’re an art enthusiast or not, I’m sure you’ll have a great time here. It’s definitely a new experience that will not disappoint many people.
