Blanco Museum at Angono

Hi there! It's Mon again.
For today's Blog, I'm going to share my experience and photos I've taken at Blanco Museum but before that did you know that Angono is The Art Capital of the Philippines? I had no idea at first why that place was named The art capital, however, upon exploring I just realized and convinced myself of the real reason behind it.

Angono is known as the ‘Art Capital of the Philippines’ because it is the only town, despite its small geography and population, which has produced and is home to two National Artists namely Carlos ‘Botong’ Francisco for Painting and Prof. Lucio San Pedro for Music.

Aside from that when I visited the province I saw a lot of art galleries, art and music academy plus plenty of mural arts mixed with paint and sculpture.

I'm just grateful because I'm able to get free admission to the Blanco museum one of the famous museums in Angono also they had a cafe called BRKD.

The best thing about this museum is every artwork is a masterpiece of its own family, Blanco family is known for their realistic arts, portraits, and sculptures I can say that they are a family who loves arts and a bloodline of artists.


I have a few photos that I took upon my visit and here it is;

The stroke and details are on a different level! Goosebumps!
They had a unique style that focuses on realism and their subject are based on Filipino culture, tradition, and beliefs.

This painting caught my attention, It has wonderful details and color mixture the emotions are present I stare at it for almost 5 minutes, I closed my eyes and free my mind to imagine that I was present in that painting this is my technique to feel and appreciate every art that I saw especially on an Intriguing artwork.
It is effective, trust me! (Para kang nag ta-time travel)


So, gonna end this blog. Thank you for reading.

Happy weekend Fellas :)

This is Mon, peace out!🤙
