QUEZON CITY, May 17 (PIA) -- In observance of the International Museum Day, visitors will get to enjoy free admission at the Quezon City Experience (QCX) on Friday, March 18.

The QCX is a five-pod green architecture museum complex with 15 galleries that tell the history and culture of the city, and allows visitors to experience and interact with the displays through the use of technology.

It presents Quezon City’s momentous events from its founding by President Manuel L. Quezon to the current administration of Mayor Herbert M. Bautista when it became the country’s most progressive city.

“QCX depicts the life of the city as a city, the life of the people of QC and how they contributed [to what the city is now] from the time of its inception to the present,” QCX head museum officer Michael A. Ogalinola said.

He said more Quezon City residents must visit the museum to know more about the city and the role it played in Philippine history.

“Ang pagpunta sa museums ay bahagi ng pagiging Pilipino natin. Sa pamamagitan ng mga museo, maiintindihan natin ang kasaysayan ng ating mga pamayanan,” Oganinola said.

The QCX has a hundred seating capacity theater, lecture and conference rooms, and rooftop gardens which could be used for events such as outdoor exhibits.
