Introduce your kiddos to the traditional Indonesian art of wayang (puppetry) at Museum Wayang. The exhibit houses a diverse collection of handmade puppets made from wood, leather, and grass—sourced both locally and from around the globe. There are also other paraphernalia, such as musical instruments used to accompany the performances. Shows are held every second and third Sunday of the month, so plan your visit accordingly.

The Wayang Museum (Puppet Museum) is home to more than 4,000 puppets from across the country and beyond the shores. Its entire anthology of exhibits celebrates the ancient art of Javanese storytelling, from its wispy shadow puppets made of leather (wayang kulit) to fleshed out wooden dolls (wayang golek). A colorful cast of characters stand mutely behind the glass. On Sundays, they are taken out and brought to life through performances (from 10:00AM to 2:00PM). Inquire about workshops and score a new skill; the museum is fully committed to passing the passion and skills forward to a new generation of puppeteers!

Whenever you’re in Antipolo, dropping by Pinto Art Museum is a must. Known for housing a variety of artworks, it offers a feast for your eyes with its paintings to sculptures to installations. A friendly tip, an hour is definitely not enough to cover the entire museum and I suggest trying their in house cafe, Café Rizal. ☁️🎨
