Like a promising love, the golden treasures on exhibit at the Ayala Museum were pure. First checked the Exhibit- Ring Of Fire- minutes before 5 pm today. Then headed to the Dioramas for a lesson in Philippine History, the Paintings of Zobel and to the Crossroads of Civilizations.
They closed the Ring of Fire Exhibit at 5:30 pm because of a Windows Event which was held at the Ground Floor and spilled to the entrance fronting the Cafe Museum. Masked men and women crowded the lobby; there were men on stilts and costumed performers.
At the Ring of Fire Exhibit and at the Dioramas, I mistook a museum patron for someone I thought I knew. But she was gracious enough to introduce herself although I bothered her deep appreciation of the exhibit. Jeez!
Seeing the Vietnamese, Thai, and Indonesian ceramics - vases, plates, and other earthenware- made me hungry so I crossed to the Cafe Museum for some cocktails and chicken wings.
I was a pure tourist tonight - waiting for spectacular surprises!
The air was humid, the white wine was strong, and the heart, empty.
