[UPCOMING] In a time of AI and endless screen time, there’s something special about slowing down and making art with your own hands! Join us at The M for a series of printmaking workshops, open to ages 12 and above, happening on Saturdays from JULY to NOVEMBER 2026.

The printmaking sessions welcome all skill levels, including complete beginners. Through guided, hands-on exercises, you’ll explore different printmaking techniques, create your own original prints, and experiment with editions and color variations.

Whether you’re curious about printmaking or simply looking for a creative escape, this is a space to learn, explore, and make something uniquely your own.

The workshops will be facilitated by esteemed Printmakers: 𝗔𝗺𝗯𝗶𝗲 𝗔𝗯𝗮ñ𝗼, 𝗛𝗲𝗻𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗮𝘇𝗮𝗿 𝗣𝗮𝗴𝗸𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘄𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗻, 𝗝𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗦𝗶𝗯𝘂𝗴𝗮𝗻, and 𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗻 𝗩𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗿𝘂𝗲𝗹.

The Omocha | Japanese Toys Today exhibition is closing soon!

Before it travels to Ilomoca, come play with a fun mix of traditional and modern Japanese toys—and see some of Japan’s most iconic collectibles up close.

Since opening day, we’ve welcomed nonstop visitors of all ages: some reliving childhood memories, others discovering new favorites for the first time. In our activity area, we asked: “If you could bring home one item from the museum today, what would it be?” The top answers? “Tamagotchi,” “Chiikawa,” "Gundam", and of course… “EVERYTHING!” 😂

On behalf of our partner, the Japan Foundation Manila, we thank you for all the love and excitement you’ve shared with us. Last day to visit (for FREE) is May 31.
