Curator

Leave a reply

I’m amazed at the dedication of museum curators to handle every historical pieces found inside the museum. One example is the Aguinaldo Shrine in Cavite. It used to be the ancestral home of the First President of the Philippine Republic Emilio Aguinaldo and his family before his descendants decided to donate it to the national government as part of  cultural heritage.

I’ve already mentioned this in my previous post that curators are particular about details of keeping everything in order inside the museum. Curators make sure that even the alloc flooring is safe for guests and visitors to walk on. Someone who is task to do the job of a curator must be truly proud to be a part of conservation effort of historic items.

Are you familiar with the places where school field trips are commonly held? The short list is in no particular order you can add if I’ve missed a place or two.

Luneta Park, Manila Zoo, Fort Santiago, Museo Pambata, San Agustin Church, Manila Cathedral, National museum, Manila Ocean Park, Star City.

These places especially the historical sites have maintained their stature and cleanliness for years making them popular among local tourists and foreign travelers.

Each tourist spot must have managed their own garbage disposal system well. One or two of them could be maintaining their own  composter to keep the facilities clean all the time.

What was the last place in the list that you have visited so far?
