The Metropolitan Museum of Manila looks forward to a Filipino nation that takes pride in the variety and excellence of its arts and culture.

As the premier museum of modern and contemporary visual arts in the Philippines, the Met Museum not only seeks cultural upliftment, but also embraces art as a discipline in teaching non-art concepts such as cultural values, civic responsibilities, environmental awareness, and a belief in the need for excellence. It brings art to all levels of the local and international community, and situates art within the context of Philippine history and society.

Its slogan, ART FOR ALL, is the foundation of all programs, which include permanent, changing, and traveling exhibitions, interactive stations, and educational activities.

The auditorium is available for lectures, forums, film-showings, and other activities. The elegant gallery spaces are also available for functions such as formal dinners, product launches, and corporate gatherings. Special functions are accommodated even after museum hours. Please inquire at the Administration Department.

Sample delectable dishes and treats from Filipino and international cuisine offered by a renowned Philippine restaurant. Also, don't forget to experience thematic food offerings inspired by an ongoing exhibit.
