(SPOT.ph) We often live for great deals, whether a buy-one-take-one promo at your favorite sneaker store or a 50% discount on airfare. Free entrance to museums and galleries is probably the best of all, especially if you're an art buff. This season, Ayala Museum opens the exhibit Shell Perspective: Art as Guide at their Walkway Gallery, just in time for Christmas—and yes, entrance is free.



The exhibit showcases the winning works from Shell's annual National Student Art Competition since it started in 1951. It features 26 artists with each piece representing the ever-evolving art and culture scene in the country. Works range from the traditional to modern and use various medium, including oil/acrylic, sculpture, watercolor, and digital arts.

Filipino art masters like Benedicto Cabrera, Juvenal Sansó, and Ang Kiukok were also once student-artists recognized by Shell.
