CARLOS RECOMMENDS!

METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF MANILA
Artes at Angkan:
Power, Patronage & Production in the 19th Century

New stuff at the Met Museum! An exhibition on the cultural life of old Manila as seen through the achievements and possessions of the Paterno family is on display right now (the hair-embroidered sceneries of Adela Paterno are particularly spectacular). And aside from their permanent exhibits of traditional Philippine goldwork and pottery, the trip to the MET is always worth it if only for the sampaguita ice cream at the Ilustrado Coffee Shop. Parking available in front.

Monday to Saturday
. 10am to 6pm.
P50 adult/professional
P30 student with valid ID
P40 senior citizen
