D.
M. Guevara collection finds new home
Museo acquires more antique pieces
The Museo De La
Salle recently received a collection of antique artifacts from the D.
M. Guevara Foundation, Inc. that includes about 1,000 pieces of circa
19th and early 20th century furniture, furnishings, applied and fine
arts and family lifestyle accoutrements.
The D. M. Guevara Foundation, Inc. generously donated its set of antiques
with the hope that through this collection, a greater consciousness
and appreciation of the Filipino Christian heritage will be realized.
Further, the donation is a befitting laurel to the endeavors and extensive
research that contributed to the development of Museo De La Salle, now
considered by many as the foremost lifestyle museum of its kind.
In recognition to the foundation’s gesture, the Zaguan of Museo
De La Salle is dedicated to the collection and is aptly named the D.
M. Guevara Wing. The Zaguan will be the new home for the D. M. Guevara
collection, which was previously housed at an old residence in Parañaque,
Central Bank Complex and Nayong Pilipino.
To formally dedicate the D. M. Guevara collection to the Museo De La
Salle, a ceremony will be held on September 6 at the Zaguan, Museo De
La Salle and will be attended by DLSU system administrators, government
officials, distinguished friends of Museo De La Salle and the Guevara
family. Full
