The province of Oriental Mindoro proved its dedication to strengthening tourism by opening the first 3D Art Maze Museum in the entire MIMAROPA region, and third in the Philippines.
Located in the town of Naujan, the museum is built on a 1.8-hectare land owned and managed by the Naujan municipal government. The museum is designed to offer a unique interactive and immersive experience for tourists, allowing visitors to engage with various artworks through the illusion of perspective and 3D effects.
According to Naujan Public Information Officer and Tourism coordinator Disoy Gillado, the establishment of the museum is part of their efforts to enhance tourism and promote art and culture.
“Tayo po ay pangatlo sa buong bansa na mayroong 3D art museum na masasabi po nating malaking tulong lalo na sa kaalaman sa edukasyon ng mga bata, lalo na pagdating sa pangunahing kultura, pangunahing yaman ng bayan ng naujan at Oriental Mindoro na makikita po dito sa museong ito,” Gillado said.
[We are the third in the entire country to have a 3D art museum, which we can say is a great help, especially in educating children particularly about the rich culture and natural wealth of Naujan and Oriental Mindoro, which can be seen in this museum.]
Nikki Aubrey Fabon, a student from Naujan Municipal High School, invited fellow locals and even visitors from other areas to come and witness firsthand the first 3D Art Museum in the province.
“Inaanyayahan ko po kayo na pumunta dito sa art maze, dito po sa Oriental mindoro. Kapag po pumunta kayo dito, marami po kayong matututunan and also ma-eentertain din po kayo at marami po kayong makukuha na knowledge na maipapakita o mai-sheshare sa iba,” she said.
[I invite everyone to visit the Art Maze here in Oriental Mindoro. When you come here, you will learn a lot, be entertained, and gain knowledge that you can share with others.]
In line with the National Arts Month, it is crucial to pass on the knowledge of our ancestors’ culture and arts to the younger generation, and at the 3D Art Maze Museum in Oriental Mindoro, the vibrant Mindoreño culture is alive– something that we can take pride in, not only in the province but also across the entire country.
