PHOTOWALK: A Day at the Pinto Art Museum

Aside from the famous Hinulugang Taktak, Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage Shrine, delicacies like suman and kasoy, there's so much to discover in the beautiful city of Antipolo. One of which is the, now popular and one of the top tourist destinations in the city, the Pinto Art Museum. 

I've been seeing great posts about this museum and heard a lot of good things about it. Spending a day at the museum is just a confirmation for me that all the good things I've read about this place online is true. It is indeed a paradise for all the art and nature lovers out there. Everywhere you look is a feast to the eye. You'll be morphed to a place that's totally different from what a city has to offer. 

The Pinto Art Museum is located at Sierra Madre St., Grand Heights, Antipolo, Rizal. They are open Tuesdays to Sundays, from 9am to 6pm.

Entrance tickets are available at Php180 for regular ticket, Php150 for senior citizens and PWD with valid IDs, and Php100 for children and students with proper school IDs. 

Here are some helpful tips for first-timers:

• If you're going on commute, you may take a tricycle from Antipolo Church for Php40.
• Recommended time of visit is as early as 9am or in the afternoon. It can be exhausting if you'll tour the place while the sun is at it's peak.
• You'll be walking around a 1.3-hectare property so be at your most comfortable clothes! There are beds and couches scattered around the place though should you feel the need to rest and enjoy the view. 
• Every corner is picture perfect and "Instagrammable". Yes, you're allowed to bring your cameras inside. However, if you're planning to do a photoshoot inside, they do charge for that and it's by reservation. 
• They have 3 cafes/restaurants inside just in case you get hungry. Some may find the menu a bit pricey, but I'm telling you, it sure is worth every bite! Check out my review of the Cafe Pinto by Peppermill.
• Do not rush. Take time to appreciate every well-crafted masterpiece that you can find in the museum.
