Why it ranks
Flagship art museum of the National Museum of the Philippines, housed in the former Legislative Building (built 1918–1926) with 29 galleries of 19th-century masters and National Artists.
Don't miss: See the galleries of 19th-century Filipino masters and the restored Old Senate Session Hall.
Best for: First-time visitors to Manila, art and history readers, families on a half-day Rizal Park loop.
Good to know: Group visits can be booked through the museum's reservation portal; the three Rizal Park museums are a short walk apart so plan at least half a day for two of them.
