MALAY, Aklan — For tourists who have outgrown the powdery-white sand beaches and the vibrant nightlife of Boracay Island, a tour in an interactive and community-based museum offers them a taste and a unique glimpse of life in Aklan province. The Motag Living Museum in Malay town, the home of the world-famous island-resort, allows visitors to witness farm living in Aklan, a unique experience that they will bring home. The museum opened in the village of Motag in May 2014 to showcase to tourists the various facets of farm life. “We wanted to showcase our culture, heritage and traditional life for tourists who flock to Boracay,” said museum operator and Malay Councilor Maylynn Aguirre-Graf. As of April this year, Motag Living Museum ranked eighth in the “top things to do in Boracay,” according to the popular travel site, Tripadvisor.
