REFLECTION PAPER “IGLESIA NI CRISTO Musuem and Gallery”
Iglesia ni Cristo Museum and Gallery is an ecclesiastical museum located in
Quezon City and is owned and operated by the Iglesia ni Cristo. It is located within the grounds of the INC Central Office. When I visited the museum, it was very great experience because the feeling was surreal, as I entered in the museum you will notice the very simple yet elegant type of museum because of the design, you will see the beautiful paintings there and the children museum. It has a five-story building, in the first floor you will see one of the paintings of Iglesia Ni Cristo,the high-tech facilities that they have like for example walkalators and a state-of-the- art building management system that controls the building’s cooling, ventilation, lighting, electrical, pumps and tanks, system architectures, and door locks. I can say that this museum was a great example of a saying “don’t judge the book by its cover” because you will never know its real beauty until you didn’t enter the every door that they have in every floor. When you enter in their second floor that was the start of the amazing history of Iglesia Ni Cristo, you will observe how they preserve all the things from the past, the things of Brother Felix Y. Manalo, Brother Erano G. Manalo and now the Prime Minister of Iglesia Ni Cristo, Brother Eduardo V. Manalo from the clothes, pens, bibles, handwritten, real office, letters and the things that they used to teach the message and words of God. This museum really bring me in the past wherein I felt that I was really there, because of the technology that they applied in the museum it helped the visitors to really imagined and amazed in the story of Iglesia Ni Cristo. I am so amazed to the architects and the director of this museum because of the things that they used there just to share the history and development of Iglesia Ni Cristo. I am proud because I am one of the witnesses in the story line of Iglesia Ni Cristo. Proud also because we have a museum like these that helped and gave me and other people a lesson and great experience.
