| THE Puzzle Queen herself, Ms. Gina Lacuna, gave us a tour of the museum. Her stories about her puzzles are just so amusing! And I love all her trivia! :) |
 |
| That's Ms. Gina showing off her Eiffel Tower wooden puzzle. We had fun trying to find the objects that Ms. Gina asked us to locate in the puzzle. :) Try to find the word "Paris", the bottle of wine, the small Eiffel tower, and the girl dancing with one of her feet up. |
 |
| This is our group during the tour. We were about 20-30 in the group. |
 |
| Inside is a collection of so many puzzles (more than 1,000) in different forms, shapes, and sizes! |
 |
| There are also those of some famous personalities, like our very own president Noynoy Aquino, the late Pope John Paul II, and the beautiful Mona Lisa! |
 |
| Some came in the shape of a ball. Fascinating! |
 |
| These have some parts popping out! |
 |
| These are puzzles too! In the form of crystals and wood in 3D. |
 |
| These are amazing! They're 4D puzzles. As the Puzzle Queen puts it, they're "puzzles within a puzzle." |
 |
| Here is Ms. Gina showing us her very first puzzle some 26 or 27 years ago. She said she made it for her son. How sweet is that! :) |
 |
| The Guernica by Pablo Picasso. If this were a painting, it would cost billions! But I'm sure Ms. Gina's effort in putting together this puzzle gives her so much more feeling of pride and accomplishment.... something that money can't buy! ;) |
 |
| Ms. Gina talks about the "Las Hilanderas." She said this is the hardest puzzle she has done so far. |
 |
| Here Ms. Gina shows us the puzzle that she is currently working on. It's a 32,000-pc puzzle, which she hopes to finish by July 2013. |
 |
| That's the puzzle she's working on now, by the lobby near the souvenir shop, and the part that she has finished so far. It's just about 1/8 of the entire puzzle! |
