Traveling museum: Nayong Pilipino brings rare artifacts to Tarlac

via Philippine News Agency, 02 April 2023: The Nayong Pilipino Foundation (NPF) is showcasing over 200 rarely seen ethnographic items from various parts of the Philippines in a traveling exhibit titled “Nayon sa Diwa: Bringing Cultural Communities Closer to the Heart”. The exhibit is being held in Tarlac.

Museumgoers or travelers just passing by Tarlac are in for a treat as Nayong Pilipino Foundation (NPF) dusts off a portion of its vast collection of cultural artifacts for a “traveling exhibit” in the province.

Curated by Victor Estralla, the “Nayon sa Diwa: Bringing Cultural Communities Closer to the Heart” showcases over 200 rarely seen ethnographic items from various parts of the country.

These include priceless historical and cultural items from the Cordilleras, the Lumads of Mindanao, and the Muslims of Bangsamoro, among others.
The exhibit, the first of its kind the NPF staged outside Metro Manila, also highlights the works of Tarlac’s very own Abelling Aetas.

“It specifically aims to bring the ethnographic collection of the Nayong Pilipino Foundation to the people of Tarlac and the rest of Central Luzon as well as to encourage them to conserve our rich natural and cultural heritage,” Estralla said
