The National Museum of the Philippines or NM is a government agency museum that includes research and conservation programs within the museum and throughout the archipelago. Admission is free to all museums and facilities for both local and foreign visitors.
The NM supports the International Day for Persons with Disabilities.
Recently the National Museum ran a Leaf Art Workshop in partnership with Philippine School for the Deaf and the Philippine Institute for the Deaf. It involved touring their students around the natural history exhibitions. With the Department of Tourism's new accreditation system of tour guides for the deaf, we hope to develop a similar model for museum guides for the deaf. We mean to be inclusive.

This time for High School students from both Philippine Institute for the Deaf and the Philippine School for the Deaf.
Another successful workshop yesterday but this time for high school students. There were 30 participants with 3 mentors from the Philippines School for the Deaf and 19 participants and 3 mentors from the Philippine Institute for the Deaf. The program was essentially the same as the previous day: stations were set up on leaf collage, leaf fashion, leaf framing, leaf mask, leaf lamps, leaf keychain, and leaf carving but calibrated for high school students. After lunch, it was finishing up and a tour of the natural history museum. Although half expected, the students performed as their going away present to the National Museum with a beautiful dance and song. Thanks to our partners and staff dedicated for this work.

The NM thanks Ms. Mylah Roque for making Marawi closer to home and choosing to make her photographs as vivid and immediate. Through her "Marawi: A Year After" exhibition, many Manila-based visitors appreciated her images of not just destruction but of hope and recovery. We learned so much from her talk last Friday, November 23, and annotating her photographs as she took us around your photographs. The exhibition is closed now but we will bring this next year to one of our regional museums in Luzon to underscore the importance of our shared awareness campaign.
Thanks to the review by Maria Teresa Montemayor of the Philippine News Agency...

The NM’s Leaf Art Workshop for the Deaf.
Ongoing at the Dr. Benito Vergara and Leonard Co Education Rooms, a workshop for the elementary level deaf students is being held in which we are using recycled materials and twigs and leaves. We thank the Philippine School for the Deaf and the Philippine Institute for the Deaf for partnering with us to help students appreciate the study of botany and the importance of nature.
PSD sent 22 participants with 2 mentors, while PID with 17 participants plus 4 mentors. Included in their program is a tour of the galleries that will help us in developing special programs for our physically challenged visitors, particularly those who can lip-read and those who can use sign language.
This is part of National Museum's goals towards universal access and inclusion. Our thanks to our staff from the Botany and National Herbarium Division and the Museum Services Division for facilitating this accessibility project. Tomorrow we will hold another workshop for the high school level students.
December 3 is the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. Find out how you can develop awareness and what you can do to help in making your workplace, school and environment more accessible.
