We took a jeepney out to Talisay this afternoon to visit a gallery there. It turned out to be not the ordinary type of commercial gallery but a part of a museum which was itself the home of the Lizares family and Tana Dicang in particular.
The small exhibition in the gallery was of work by five artists now living in the United States. As a result we were also shown round the rest of the house which is now the museum with furniture originally used by the family in their everyday life there.
There are two bronze busts , one of Tana the other of her husband, Amongst the many photographs on show is one of Tana seated between two Presidents of the Philippines, Manuel Quezon and Sergio Osmena.
Photographs were not permitted to be taken inside but here are some of the exterior of the building whichdates from 1883.
