The National Museum of Fine Arts in Manila, housed in a grand neoclassical building that once served as the Old Legislative Building, is the Philippines’ foremost art institution. Located along Padre Burgos Avenue beside Rizal Park, it showcases 29 galleries filled with works by 19th-century Filipino masters, National Artists, and leading modern creatives, including iconic pieces like Juan Luna’s Spoliarium and Botong Francisco’s sweeping mural Filipino Struggles Through History—both designated as National Cultural Treasures. As a vital landmark in Manila’s cultural heart, the museum not only preserves and honors the nation’s visual heritage but also anchors the city’s art scene by offering public access to these masterpieces and reinforcing the deep roots of Filipino artistic identity.
