World class science museum in Taguig City



I went to Trinoma last Sunday, October 24 to watch the movie "Eat, Pray, Love".

While waiting, I noticed that there's an exhibit a few steps from the ticket selling counters.

The exhibit is about "The Mind Museum at Taguig City", which will be opened in December 2011 according to the information officer.

The Mind Museum is the FIRST WORLD-CLASS SCIENCE MUSEUM to be built in the Philippines. It is currently on a fundraising tour to raise P 1 billion of funding.

I also got a bookmark from their desk that says "The Philippines' First World Class Science Museum. Opens 2011."

Below it is the projected design of the museum. It is simply amazing. From my perspective, indeed it would be a world-class attraction placed in fast-rising suburb of Taguig City.

And one thing that amazed me, aside from the modern acrchitecture of the museum itself, are the number of donors and sponsors: Globe Telecommunications, Hapee, HSBC, IMI, JPMorgan Chase & Co., Lamoiyan Corp., Malampaya, Manila Water, National Bookstore, Nutri Asia, PNOC, SC Johnson, Pilipinas Shell, SONY, Sony Ericsson, St. Luke's Medical Center, Tan Yan Kee Foundation, Timezone, Uratex, ABS-CBN, Ajinomoto, Akari, Ayala Foundation, Ayala Land, BPI. Cemex, Chevron, Del Monte Philippines, just to name a few.
