Free admission at Ayala Museum tomorrow! :) yes, you're reading that correctly :)
This is because of the International Museum Day. I am really crossing my fingers that I can drop by there tomorrow. I really want to be part of this. I've been fascinated with museums ever since I was a kid. I think this is the perfect time for all of us to appreciate museums more. 

International Museum Day 2012

The worldwide community of museums will celebrate the 35th anniversary of International Museum Day around 18 May, 2012.

In 2012, Museums in a Changing World. New Challenges, New inspirations is the theme of International Museum Day. Today, the world is changing faster than ever. New technology delivers new ideas, gigabytes of information, news of an increasingly unstable climate.

International Museum Day will allow its visitors to wonder about the role of museums in our new society, in the era of new media, and to discover and rediscover how museums are looking to the future in terms of sustainable development.

The International Council of Museums (ICOM) established International Museum Day in 1977 to encourage public awareness of the role of museums in the development of society. Momentum has been rising unabated ever since. In 2011, International Museum Day garnered record breaking participation with almost 30,000 museums hosting events in more than 120 countries.

About The Museum
Envisioned in the 1950s by the late artist, Fernando Zobel de Ayala y Montojo, the Ayala Museum became a reality in 1967 as a project of the Ayala Foundation, Inc. (then known as the Filipinas Foundation, Inc.). The museum's first home was in the Insular Life Building on Ayala Avenue in Makati. In 1974, the first Ayala Museum building on Makati Avenue, designed by the late National Artist for Architecture, Leandro V. Locsin, was inaugurated. The museum's current building on the corner of De La Rosa Street was formally dedicated on September 28, 2004. It was Ayala's gift to the Filipino people in celebration of the Ayala Corporation's 170th anniversary. Led by Leandro Y. Locsin, Jr, the museum was designed by the architectural firm Leandro V. Locsin and Partners.
