Gateway Gallery launches interactive website on Int'l Museum Day



In line with the celebration of the International Museum Day and in response to the physical limitations brought by COVID-19, the Gateway Gallery launches its own website on Monday, May 18.


The website, which can be accessed at https://gatewaygallery.aranetacity.com/, is developed for netizens who wish to get the latest updates, events, programs, and exhibits on Philippine art, design, history, and culture.


“The launch of the Gateway Gallery website coincides not just with the International Museum Day, but also with the ongoing health crisis which closed all non-essential public spaces and hindered the free movement of the public. We want to bring Gateway Gallery closer to everyone,” according to Mr. Gari Apolonio, Gateway Gallery curator.


Take a peek online of some artworks physically exhibited in the museum. Check out Gateway Gallery's flagship exhibit, "SiningSaysay: Philippine History in Art", which retells the story of the Philippines in 30 monumental paintings from prehistory to contemporary period.


Check out also the Augmented Reality feature of the SiningSaysay exhibit and read up on how it works. With the Augmented Reality, museum visitors can view 10 select paintings come alive, narrating the detailed sequence of events depicted in the painting.


Have a preview of upcoming exhibits and check out the online exhibit. Connect with the Museum through different link options.


Artists, contributors, and producers may connect with the Gateway Gallery through the website for partnerships, events hosting, and exhibits. Group and other special tours may also be booked online.


A one-stop-shop for select books on history, culture, and art is available on the website. Other information such as details on internship, donations, and other museum-related programs are also posted.


Managed by the J. Amado Araneta Foundation, Gateway Gallery is the art museum of Araneta City devoted to the promotion of Philippine culture, heritage, and art. It is located at the 5th floor of Gateway Tower. As soon as it open its doors again, the public can visit the museum for free from 10 am to 7 pm daily.
