Ayala Museum holds interactive virtual tour
IN CELEBRATION of International Museum Day, Ayala Museum will present “Where is the Filipino: An Interactive 8-Bit Tour Around the Philippines” on May 22 to 30. This unique experience, in partnership with Globe, takes viewers through multiple stops around the archipelago, encountering indigenous and ethnographic artifacts from the Ayala Museum collection along the way. This free virtual tour of the Ayala Museum collection provides an opportunity to situate these objects in their places of origin, familiarizing the public with the various ethnolinguistic groups represented in the collection and their material culture. The tour will be held on Gather.Town, an online social platform that allows visitors to interact with each other, control an avatar, and explore a 2D map — an experience reminiscent of playing classic 8-bit games during the 1990s. Register at www.ayalamuseum.org/IMD2021 or http://bit.ly/IMD2021Reg. The platform can accommodate 25 users at a time. For more information and instructions, visit www.ayalamuseum.org/IMD2021 or contact Ayala Museum through any of their social media platforms.
