Metropolitan Museum of Manila, Art museum in Malate, Philippines.
The Metropolitan Museum of Manila is an art museum dedicated to contemporary Philippine artworks displayed across multiple galleries in a modern building. The collection covers various artistic media and reflects the diversity of local creative expression.
The museum was founded in 1976 and initially focused on international artworks before shifting its emphasis to Philippine works in 1986. This change marked a turning point in how the institution presented art to the public.
The museum showcases Philippine artworks through bilingual exhibitions that help visitors connect with local artists and contemporary practices. These shows reflect how people on the islands understand and express themselves through creative work.
Plan your visit between Tuesday and Saturday when the museum is open and offers free entry to all guests. Take your time to move through the galleries at a comfortable pace without rushing.
In 2022 the museum relocated to a new home at MK Tan Centre in Bonifacio Global City, giving it a fresh start. The move brought improved exhibition spaces and better conditions for displaying artworks.
