Today in Random: There's a Sardines Museum Opening in Batangas Soon

(SPOT.ph) Imagine this: a rainy morning, and the fishy aroma of sauteed sardines from a can fill your home as mom cooks breakfast. Have you ever stopped to wonder how the fish goes from the sea to the can? TBH, we've never thought about it either, but it seems as though we won't have to dwell on it for long. We just discovered that Mega Sardines—one of those green cans of sardines in the grocery— just turned a portion of their manufacturing plant in Sto. Tomas, Batangas into a Sardines Museum, meaning you can now find out the answer to one of life's mundane mysteries by touring this facility when it opens.

Here's what we know about the Mega Sardines Museum in Batangas:

Dubbed Mega Sardines Museum: Senses of the Sea, Mega Prime Foods turned 906 square meters of its operational plant into an educational, interactive, and immersive museum showcasing the art and science of its 12-hour catch-to-can process. 

The exhibit has five main parts: Mega Briefing Room, Mega Aquatic Room, Mega Fleet, Mega Canning Room, and the Mega Seaside Market. 

The Mega Briefing Room is where you can learn about Mega Sardines' catching-to-canning process. 

Next, you can proceed to the Mega Aquatic Room, an interactive space that will inform guests more about the fish-catching process and the Mega brand's history.

Are you a fan of big boats (and you cannot lie?) If yes, then the Mega Fleet is the exhibit for you. Here you'll see the different boats used to catch the sardines. 

Next, you'll experience the catching-to-canning process at the Mega Canning Room.

Once, you're done with all the work, head to the Mega Seaside Market for fun, dining, and shopping for Mega products and merchandise. 

While the Mega Sardines Museum: Senses of the Sea was officially launched on August 1, the exhibit won't be open to the public until September. However, prospective guests are welcome to book their dates and inquire ahead as early as now through their website.

The Mega Sardines Museum: Senses of the Sea is expected to draw in over 5,000 guests per month. The facility was made in partnership with the Philippine Amusement and Entertainment Corporation, which is the brand behind many of the Metro's most IG-friendly indoor attractions like the Omniverse Museum, Tales of Illumina, Food Wanderer x Lakbay Museo, and many more.

Another partner behind the scenes is the Department of Tourism Region 4-A which will include the attraction to its list of must-visit attractions for educational trips and an additional stop in any Batangas itinerary.

We might be looking at the Gardenia Factory of this generation of students. You know, that one stop we all had back in primary school field trips?
