Visit the Ayala Museum for FREE on July 25th!
–
Well you heard it right, admission to Ayala Museum is FREE on the 25th of July, but hold your horses for a moment because we’ll walk you through on the exciting things that will transpire on that day.
Reason being for the free admission is because of the campaign Inspire Every Day! that was launched last July 19, 2014 which garnered a warm reception, hence why not do it again? And so we have Inspire Everyday 2015!
But as the saying goes, there’s no such thing as a free lunch, and so there’s one condition for guests which is also the central theme of the campaign “Be kind.”
Kindness is the inspiration and the motivation behind the event, particularly through inspiring artist activities and the generation of awareness for AFI’s volunteer opportunities.
And so, to avail the free admission, guests have to fill up a registration form to join the Ayala Foundation mailing list and volunteer opportunities available for them in Ayala Foundation, Inc.
The form can then be submitted to Ayala Museum representatives and they’ll be providing kindness currencies which serves as a ticket to enter the museum, special inspire stations, and discounts from the Ayala Museum Shop.
Visitors will be able to enjoy the permanent exhibitions on Asian Trade Ceramic, Indigenous Philippines Textiles, Philippine Historical Events, Pre-Hispanic Gold from the Philippines, and Fernando Zobel Paintings.
