The last time I was at a museum was back in College when I was taking an exam for Humanities. I don’t remember what I was looking at, just that they were beautiful and that I was frantic because I didn’t know what to write (I liked Math 55 better – no essays). Buti na lang pumasa ako.

the last time i was at a museum was back in 2002. museo del prado in madrid. i bought these lovely pocket mirrors (goya painting) at the souvenir shop only to find out once i got home that only 2 out of the 10 that i bought don’t have cracked mirrors. until now i don’t know if i was duped by the shop clerk since she got a bunch of the items that i bought from a separate drawer or if it just cracked from all the handling that goes with travelling.
but i think it was more of the former since i remember correctly that the shop clerk already mentioned that she doesn’t have anymore stocks but since i really liked the mirrors, i kept pestering her to check. to this day i think she got back at me for pestering her by giving me those cracked mirrors. ^___^

The last time I was at a museum was also the first time my friends and I were threatened to be kicked out of any establishment we were in. That was when my friends and I went to the National Museum for our Spanish class.
Our teacher was asking us for souvenir or proof that we were there, and I wasn’t listening when he said that asking the frontdesk to sign our form is okay. So I asked my friends to take photos (which was obviously prohibited) of the artifacts and after a couple of photos, someone saw my friends and gave a hefty lecture on museum policies. We swore the Spanish artifacts there that we won’t do it again. Ever.

The last time I was at a museum, I crawled though the digestive system, played the piano with my feet and rode on a huey helicopter. Museong pambata.

The last time I was at a museum, I practically dashed because I thought at 5:00 pm, I would not have the time to see Eiffel Tower at daytime. In the process, I ditched all the other objects of arts inside the Louvre because I had only Mona Lisa in my mind. I was so disappointed because the most popular painting of the expansive museum is a a small- framed drawing of a smiling woman. And I could not get near because there seemed to be a Korean invasion in that section of Louvre. Thereafter, I ran out only to realize that the sun was still far from setting. It was in the month of May and unlike in our country, sun sets at around 8 pm in France. It’s a good thing though because I discovered the Bir-Hakim Metro station. If you watched Last Tango in Paris, Bertolucci shot some scenes in this place.

Was April 12 last year, at the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid. It was Easter Sunday, entrance was free. Due to our very tight schedule, my friend and I had only about an hour. With single-minded determination, we zeroed-in on Guernica. Damned if we would leave Madrid without seeing it. So there I was, squeezed in among what seemed like a million tourists, mouth agape before Picasso’s masterpiece, just a few precious minutes before closing time.

The last time I was at a museum, I was with a dozen of Japanese students, looking at paintings of the Japanese aggression during the WWII.

The last time I was at a museum was 11 years ago at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Everyone from our group was agog because the Monet Exhibit was on. Well, almost everyone. My family was the exception. We were more interested in having pizza at the courtyard. We spent the entire afternoon there waiting for the other members of the group to finish.

ranranranran: If you or your friend won museum tickets in one of our contests and YOU POSTED YOUR FULL NAME as requested, you should’ve been able to claim your tickets. Let us know if you did post your full name. If you did, the receptionist will be enlightened and you can claim your tickets. Then Jaime Augusto and Fernando Zobel will appear to give you a guided tour and buy you martinis at M Cafe. Actually they won’t, but you can get your tickets. And if this happened months ago, why have you taken so long to report it.
