Mementoes of Jose Rizal

“The Rizal Shrine houses a museum where mementoes of the hero can be viewed.”

How time flies! Itâ€™s been two years since we visited Jose Rizal Shrine at Fort Santiago in Intramuros, Manila. We were like walking through the glorious past of our national hero by seeing the mementoes and artworks inside glass boxes. Â We didnâ€™t see any musical instrument like a jimmy page les paul encapsulated in one of those glass boxes, but there are several manuscripts of books and poems for all generations to see. There could be a music sheet in one of those manuscripts for Jose Rizal can do or write about anything during his time.

Why Should Children Visit Museums

My Throwback Thursday post and one of my favorite entries about museums. Enjoy reading!

There are times when children are required to go on a field trip. For most kids, a field trip might mean something fun to do that is somewhat related to school. However, there are times when kids do not like it when they visit museums because they tend to get bored.

This is the reason why museums are starting to put interesting things for kids as well. The tendency is when they become interested in something; they will also start looking around. They will eventually have better understanding and knowledge about the things that can be seen inside the museum.

Here are other positive effects of visiting the museum:

Children will gain more knowledge about the history of their country.
Children will learn more about the culture of the society that they live in.
It will give children the chance to appreciate the things that they have right now and at the same time, appreciate the things that were available in the past.
It will give children a break from the highly technological surroundings that children are exposed to on a daily basis at present time.

With all of these benefits, there are enough reasons why children should visit museums.
