Angat Buhay’s Museo ng Pag-Asa is Finally Open; Here’s How You Can Get ~Free~ Tickets

A few days after the election results came out, former Vice President Leni Robredo held a live stream, where she promised to collect the artworks and creations she received during the course of her presidential campaign and display them in a museum. Now, that museum is finally here, just four months later! And it’s now known as the Museo ng Pag-Asa.

What can you expect at the museum?

Following the so-called pink movement in the recent elections, where many Filipinos exhibited genuine volunteerism and bayanihan, Angat Buhay collected the different tokens that Atty. Leni Robredo received over the course of the people’s campaign and curated them into a full-blown museum. At Museo ng Pag-Asa, you can find the works from artists and designers, architectural and construction teams, and many more talented Filipinos not just as artworks displayed on the walls but also in the house itself, as even the home housing the museum itself was offered by supporters, the Rodriguez family.

“The museum is curated to emphasize hope — hope for a democracy that works for the people, especially those at the margins. This is manifested in the permanent exhibit that presents physical and digital art forms that capture the recent ‘pink’ phenomenon that made an indelible mark even after the recent elections” its event description read.

The museum will be displaying a rotating exhibit to showcase all the gifts and tokens from the people’s campaign.

When does the museum officially open?

During the program, Atty. Leni Robredo expressed her gratitude to all the volunteers who worked day and night free of charge to design, curate, and arrange campaign memorabilia given by citizens and other symbols of the “pink” phenomenon.
