Museo ng Muntinlupa, also known as the Muntinlupa Museum, is a history city museum in Centennial Avenue, Tunasan, Muntinlupa, Metro Manila, Philippines.
Construction
[edit]The construction of the Museo ng Muntinlupa commenced on April 25, 2017, with an allotted budget of ₱180 million by the city government. It was initially projected to be finished within a year in time for the centennial celebration of Muntinlupa on December 19[1][2] but was completed within almost two years. It was opened to the public on March 1, 2019[3] coinciding with Muntinlupa's 24th founding anniversary as a city.[4]
Architecture
[edit]The museum standing on a 3,000 m2 (32,000 sq ft) land[4] was designed by Beaudon Causapin,[5] the City Architect of Muntinlupa.[6] The building's facade was designed based on the salakab, a traditional fishing trap made from weaved bamboo sticks and fasted by rattan rope often used by fishers working in Laguna de Bay, as a tribute to Muntinlupa's fishing industry which is a major part of the city's economy. The Museo ng Muntinlupa stands five storeys high.[3] The ochre columns and wire netting of the buildings were devised to manage the building's temperature by absorbing and deflecting heat.[6]
Facilities
[edit]The Museum host a main gallery, a mayor's hall, an interactive science center,[3] and a theater with 200 people seating capacity. It features exhibits featuring the city's history from the precolonial era until the modern period. It also features works of the city's contemporary artists as well as temporary exhibitions.[4]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
