3. One of the most represented aspect of culture in the galleries is death. How is it
represented in the various galleries? Name at least 5 representations done (either
the material used or the process or activity carried out).
In most of the galleries paintings, sculptures, artifacts, and specimens, death was
implicitly featured. Each gallery represented it in their own creative way through:
a. Taxidermy of animals such as tarsiers, lemurs, snakes, butterflies and locusts;
b. Paintings such as the Spoliarium by Juan Luna, among others;
c. Sculptures such as A Plea for Freedom from Fear by Fermin Gomez and Mothers
Revenge by Jose Rizal
d. The use of metal and wood as seen in the Bataan Death Marcher of Gene Cabrera
e. Artifacts such as the burial jars found in Ayub Cave Saranggani, now featured in the
Kaban ng Lahi gallery.
Death was implicitly featured, perhaps, to enable the viewers to connect emotionally
and psychologically with the objects, and to avoid a monotonous rhythm throughout
the galleries.
