The Mind Museum will be a world-class science museum that offers its visitors the opportunity to learn about science by experiencing it through five galleries that present the different aspects and facets of science. The museum will present science in an entertaining and fun manner using over 150 interactive hands-on, and “œminds-on” exhibits and displays.

Before entering the main galleries however, visitors will first pass through the McMicking Hall, an exhibit area sponsored by the Ayala Foundation. The McMicking Hall showcases the Ten Most Beautiful Science Experiments throughout history, and is a perfect introduction to the rest of the museum.

The Mind Museum is a project of the Bonifacio Arts Foundation (BAFI), a non-stock, non-profit organization supported by contributions from the Bonifacio Global City property owners. Especially if you’re a science buff, you have something to look forward to in 2011!

The Luxe welcomes its new tenant Spasso. Spasso is an Italian wine and tapas bar located at the ground floor of The Luxe. If you’re looking to enjoy an extensive wine selection and gourmet food in a laid-back atmosphere, there’s no better place to be than Spasso.

Spasso carries 170 varieties of wines from all over the globe, including bottles rated by the wine spectator Robert Parker. Spasso’s food variety is just as extensive as their wine list. You can start your meal with Spasso special, which consists of top-grade prosciutto, salami, pancetta, parmesan and asiago (P1, 450); or crostini in two different dips – baby fish in garlic olive oil (P290) or goat cheese pimiento (P340).  Popular main entrees include ox tongue stew (P590), rib-eye steak with rucola pesto (P1, 250), osso bucco (P680), sea bass with fennel salad, and anchovy tapenade (P980).

After dinner hours, Spasso transforms into a lounge area.  Lights dim and music becomes upbeat, with DJs dishing out music on a nightly basis. Spasso also has a Chef’s stable – a 16-seater private room where you can view the action in the kitchen.
