The Metropolitan Museum features contemporary art from Filipino artists. There are rotating exhibits as well as occasional workshops offered. Tuesdays are free. Free guided tours are offered on Saturdays. The museum describes itself as a “museum for all”. Some of the pieces displayed invite interaction from the viewer. You’ll be able to cover the entire museum in under two hours. Photographs are allowed without flash.

Was really looking forward to visiting this gallery, so arrived just after opening and duly paid our entrance fee.
On the ground floor there was an exhibition with a Chinese tie-in. This may have been interesting to some but it wasn't my thing. Also on this floor was some awful "installation" to do with architecture. No doubt very worthy, but oh so dull.
Upstairs. A great space, but where was the art? Lots of empty space.
Some good works were on view but even these were poorly displayed in grubby frames and mounts.
A few good local prices were great but couldn't compensate for the empty walls.
It was so disheartening.
Shop was closed and no Cafe. No interaction with staff other than taking our admission money.
Struggled to spend an hour here.

This museum which was built in 1976 can be found within the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas Complex along Roxas Boulevard in Malate Manila with a free admission every Tuesday and a free guided tour every Saturday. It houses an exhibition of architecture and design works from Germany in the first floor together with a gallery of art and sculptures from Filipino artist and a history of fashion revolution on the second floor. This building houses artistic and cultural interest to art students and professionals alike.

We had a chance to visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art and chanced upon their president, Tina Colayco. She was really helpful but she allowed her guides to guide us and filled in where they left off mostly on "ancient" history concerns since we are senior citizens from Davao City exploring the cultural scene in Manila.We were also lucky since she had some design students and she pointed out important design innovations. An interesting exhibit was the story of the Werkbund in pictures, text, and actual products and how it still exists from the first WW up to the present. Its designs were ahead of its times! They were talking of branding before it was in fashion, The functional chair collection showed designs that are used even today! The young guides did not know "soligia." The museum itself that was open to public were the ground floor and second floor. On the second floor I liked their art collection; paintings and a few sculptures. They were show casing there, too, some clothing which used recycled materials! You wouldn't have guessed. I do wish to return to view their gold collection. Another visit!

I find the paintings and art collection hard to understand; although the area is spacious enough to accommodate big groups and students. Place is well kept, there are several exhibits, mostly from local artists.

Good photos but not worth seeing if you have seen many museums. It has a good collection of contemporary art.

I visited the museum with my girlfriend and it was a great surprise. We discover some local artists that we didn't know. Very nice museum even-though it was empty. Our hotel was close to the museum so we decided to visit it, worth it
