Puzzles may not be the in thing in this generation with the emergence of electronics and gaming. Some may find them more like kids' play or not challenging to many, but how many of us can even assemble a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle? How about 3000, 5000, or 32000?
Puzzling as it may seems but jigsaw puzzles is now an art and this is proven by a proud Filipina who now holds the Guinness world record for the largest collection of jigsaw puzzles which was awarded last 2012, Mrs. Gina Gil-Lacuna. Her passion for this kind of hobby started 27 years ago and has made 1028 puzzle collection (as per record with Guinness and still adding up new ones). This one of a kind collection is not exclusive with the regular jigsaw puzzles but a whole lot more.
The Puzzle Collection
Among her collection of interesting puzzles are 4D puzzles, 3D puzzles, spherical puzzles, glow-in-the-dark puzzles, and wooden 3D puzzles. She also made puzzles made from her family photos, and even made one for Guiness.
Her favorites include famous painting from the reneiasance period like Leonardo Da Vinci, surrealist painters like Van Gogh, Cubism maestro Pablo Picasso, and with each painting comes with the life story of the painters and their works Mrs. Gina would love to talk about them during walking tours around the vast collection.
She mentioned that when doing the painting puzzles, she get to know more about the artist as she examines every stroke and color of the masterpiece which makes her appreciate their work while working to finish the large artwork.
As her collection is now the talk of the town and also a new tourist spot in the city of Tagaytay, the Puzzle Mansion will not only showcase the amazing jigsaw collection but also more features for everyone to enjoy.
