QRated: The CCP DIY Tour

Set to launch on October 15 (12nn) at the Bulwagang Carlos V. Francisco, QRated is a public guided tour that is easily accessible for everyone through the QR codes that are scattered around the CCP. The tour includes artworks, exhibition spaces and facilities, performance venues, architectural details, and other notable spots within the CCP building.
