Ayala Museum sets up an exhibit in Animal Crossing for International Museum Day

Museums are not yet allowed to operate amid the quarantine, but Ayala Museum found a way to celebrate International Museum Day: Through "Animal Crossing!"

On Facebook, Ayala Museum announced it is setting up an exhibit on most people's current favorite game.

"That's right. We’ve set up an exhibition in Animal Crossing! On show will be Damian Domingo, Jose Honorato Lozano, and Juan Luna," Ayala Museum announced on Facebook.

The in-game Ayala Museum will be open from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. from May 20 to May 22. Interested participants should sign up but according to Ayala Museum's post, all slots have been filled, less than an hour after posting. 

The museum might raffle off slots live on their Twitter on the day itself to accommodate more museum visitors.

Like most of us, Ayala Museum has been tripping on Animal Crossing. In April, it released an outfit code from its textile collection.

The possibilities are endless with this Nintendo Switch game.

Just recently, a real-life couple tied the knot through Animal Crossing since mass gatherings including weddings are also still prohibited under the modified enhanced community quarantine.

"Animal Crossing" has become a lockdown favorite with netizens using it as an escape to get away from the quarantine blues.

In the game, your avatar can freely go fishing, do gardening, hunt for fossils, catch bugs, construct furniture, decorate your house, and customize outfits.

And unlike the new normal, the game will also allow you to socialize with your neighbors.

Metro Manila has been placed under the MECQ and under its guidelines, mass gatherings and entertainment activities are not allowed. — Jannielyn Ann Bigtas/LA, GMA News
