This is what we did last Saturday afternoon on Sept 12…exploring the inner workings of culture and heritage! 🏛️✨
Despite the short notice and a few uninvited tech gremlins testing our screens and Wi-Fi, our room was packed with the most captive, engaged audience we could have asked for.

A huge thank you to Emily for leading Museum 101: Nuts & Bolts! She took us on an eye-opening journey behind the scenes to uncover how museums truly operate day-to-day, the complexities behind the glass displays, and practical ways passionate outsiders can step in to support, preserve, and advocate for cultural spaces.

To everyone who spent their Saturday afternoon with us, shared great questions, and stayed till the group photo: thank you for making the energy in the room so special!

Missed out this round? Stay tuned for upcoming talks, cultural tours, and volunteer opportunities with the Museum Volunteers of the Philippines. -Koel Banerjee (Interest Group Advisor for Museum Support Group)

A little rain couldn’t slow down our official kick-off for the year! ☕️🌧️
Thank you to our attendees for bringing the heat 🙌🏼 and making this year’s *MVP Annual Tea* on 7th Sept a grand success 🥳
Despite rain on the outside, the inside was packed with great conversations, shared laughs, and fantastic energy.
Massive love for grabbing an umbrella and showing up to connect with us, listening to our presentation, hearing directly from our seasoned members about what makes MVP special and our plan for the year ahead.
For those who couldn’t join, you were missed, but you definitely missed out!
Best part was the contagious enthusiasm …so much so that a huge wave of attendees signed up on the spot to become a member!

Welcome to the family to all our new members

What a way to launch the year 🚀
We’re just getting started!🥂- Koel Banerjee (MVP Secretary & Interest Group Advisor)
