National Museum of Fine Arts

As a national museum, of course, the most worthwhile museum to visit, and is free to visit. The entrance is the oil painting area on the first floor, and the Catholic influence is deeply embedded in the country. Basically there are paintings about Jesus, his birth, suffering, reincarnation, etc. Some exhibition halls are still a story line, and in order to appreciate is a classic work in the Bible. On the first floor, there are also some modern Filipino oil paintings. You can see the Philippine giants and the dresses of politicians, food, clothing, housing and transportation. The second floor is more modern art, except for oil paintings, mainly artworks, crafts, original weapons, etc. There are also pearl shell works, wood carvings and so on. The basement is a collection of mineral specimens. Of course, as our immediate neighbor, the Chinese elements in the museum are also indispensable.

The Philippines National Museum of Fine Art is a great destination for art enthusiasts. The museum features an impressive collection of Filipino artworks, ranging from traditional tribal pieces to modern masterpieces. The curation of the works is impressive, and visitors can wander through various galleries to find something to appreciate. The museum's interactive displays and educational programs make it a great place for families and children to explore. The museum is a great place to learn more about Filipino culture and the arts. Highly recommended!
