The 7 Largest Museum in Manila

I particularly enjoyed the Guillermo Tolentino exhibit. His sculpturing is unmatched in Filipino art.

The building itself feels a bit run-down on the interior side, but the quality of the exhibits makes up for that. The free entry also makes this a must-visit in Manila.

Such a great museum! Free admissions, the workers are definitely approachable. For the first time I visited a museum (in my lifetime), it was really a great experience! The highlight of it was the “Spoliarium” by Juan Luna. The artifacts, preserved paintings, sculptures were also displayed and each information was posted and explained well.

IT’S FREE! I went to this place alone and it was beautiful. So much pieces of arts from different periods of the Philippines. It’s good on weekdays, there are only a few people. There are elevators but I wish they added arrows or indicators on the floors on where to start. I got lost multiple times. Other than that it’s such a great experience!

Although the museum is on a smaller side, it managed to display a lot of significant and valuable paintings as well as contemporary arts. No entrance fee but Filipinos needed to register with an ID and no drinks and bags allowed inside the museum.

    This museum of natural history has an incredible architecture, and it’s good to see that they’re renovating the whole area. (It needed it)
