New Parañaque museum turns guests into Picasso paintings

A Cubist Portrait area that transforms visitors into characters in cubist artworks like Pablo Picasso's; and an interactive "Starry Night" digital show that enables one to be part of Vincent van Gogh's famous painting — these are among the highlights of a newly-opened, futuristic museum in Parañaque City.
