                    [Summary] => The infamous shoe collection is gone.


The Malacañang Palace Museum reopened yesterday for the first time since President Arroyo took office, sans what used to be the main attraction.


Now housed at the Kalayaan Building, the museum no longer exhibits the 1,500 pairs of shoes of former First Lady Imelda Marcos, which were seen as a testament to the extravagant lifestyle of deposed dictator Ferdinand Marcos’ widow. 


The Marcoses were the last tenants of the Palace before it was turned into a museum. But since Mrs. Arroyo restored the tradition of presidents living in Malacañang, the museum had remained closed after she and her family moved in late last January.


It was only a "soft reopening" yesterday, but coming after a long All Saints’ Day break, it was a virtual ghost town — hardly anyone was present to see the new exhibits save for a few reporters and employees of the Office of the Press Secretary (OPS).
