I found my trip to the National Museum to be a great learning experience,. The Museum, though short of funds was well kept, they had dedicated staff looking after the Museum. The Museum pieces where near authentic.

Housed in the former Senate building built during the Commonwealth era, the National Museum located here is now known as the National Gallery of Art, despite the words "National Museum" written on its facade. Inside are an impressive collection of works from noted Filipino masters like Juan Luna, Felix Resurreccion Hidalgo, Fernando Amorsolo, among others. The paintings are mostly from... More

The National Museum now houses both the GSIS and the current masters collection of the National Museum. What better place to compare and contrast Philippine Masters with each other. There is lack of museum maps and informational captions just to familiarize non-filipino visitors. But the painting collection is quite fun to view. The museum needs to invest in a little... More

We really only went in there to do a Geocache but spent some time wandering around. Unfortunatly there wasnt alot available to see

What i like about national museum is there layout, the artifacts and the remnants of filipino ancestral are highly restored to show how important it is for every filipinos in the world. Its a good start knowing ones history when you want to live permanently in the country. However, when you visit national museum it will take you time to... More

A midmorning visit to the art galleries of the national museum was made. The collection has a lot of Juan Lunas, and other late 19th century painters but w few 50 to 60s artists except for Valenzuela and another abstract painter. A 4 panel painting from the PGH by Botong Francisco has been moved here to alleviate further damage. Few... More

went here with a friend from school days. I drove here and got to park just outside the Main Doors. yahoo for that. really two buildings across the street from each other. the display cases were worthy of the items. I have been to the muesums of Los Angeles, Chicago, New York City--this Museum as a showcase is comparable. but... More
