Metropolitan Museum of Manila

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.
