The collections at the National Museum are wonderful though and I think the current administrators are doing a good job of promoting and improving the museum. Let's hope they do a good job in renovating it!Rainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08420708024847226996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436402682566663162.post-55121180555068553702012-05-12T01:44:34.504+08:002012-05-12T01:44:34.504+08:00I completely adore everything about the national m...I completely adore everything about the national museum, except for one thing, the paint job of the building does not do the building any justice to its neo-classical design. Those buildings should be painted and maintained in marble white. <br /><br />Sorry but it looks cheap with the yellow pages hue and cement grey accenting.

I just longed to see the Spolarium again and "feel Luna". I agree the other Lunas there are just as astounding -- whether painted by Juan himself or Andres. Must be in their blood. So much more to say/write, but yes, makes us proud!Lifeisacelebrationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18421411995634760413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436402682566663162.post-35459184967769619432011-07-31T02:26:11.838+08:002011-07-31T02:26:11.838+08:00Thanks for your interest!
