Cari amici oggi voglio parlarvi del Motag Living Museum, un museo agricolo interattivo e culturale sulla terraferma di Aklan, a circa 30 minuti dall’isola filippina di Boracay. Questo posto ci racconta come vivevano le comunità rurali nel 1900. I visitatori possono sperimentare gli antichi metodi di coltivazione, aiutati dagli “anziani” che condividono storie e canzoni tradizionali. Vi consiglio questo museo, perchè offre una lettura vera e chiara della storia del mio Paese. Unirsi all’esperienza del Motag significa rivivere una memoria!
Motag Living Museum is the first interactive museum in the Philippines and it is located in Barangay Montag, Aklan. To get there, it may take about 11 minutes from Caticlan Airport. Motag Museum aims to preserve the heritage and the natives of Malay, way of life and for the new generation to be proud of their roots.
There’s more to Aklan than Boracay Island with its beautiful beaches and clear waters. Not many tourists know about a museum that is worth a visit when you’re here in Aklan.
A visit at Motag Living Museum is far from the usual activities to do in Boracay. Here, you will discover their tradition and culture through immersion with the locals, from visiting their homes, cooking rice using traditional tools, to traditional farming, plowing, harrowing, and planting.
When you visit the museum, you can help the community for the money that they collected if youpurchase any souvenir. The museum also empowers the elderly by giving them regular activity they know the most, their wisdom shared and earn from it. It has also improved income to local residents, providing long term benefits in personal healthcare, education and general well-being.
It’s More Fun in the Philippines.
