From housing hundreds of art pieces and a café that offers mouth-watering food choices to having a massive space with lots of Instagrammable corners, Pintô Art Museum in Antipolo is catching more and more attention, particularly from today’s youth.
And now, going beyond the call of educating people on Philippines history and culture through art, the contemporary museum has officially opened another gallery for its visitors the Pintô Arboretum.
Curated by visual artist and avid ecologist, Ronald Achacoso, this 2000-sq.meter arboretum or botanical garden houses 500 species of indigenous plants, and the museum aims to have 3,000 species by 2025.
