The artistic way, is the Metropolitan way.


The Metropolitan Museum of Manila, is a museum located within the complex of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. It bills itself as the Philippines' premier museum of modern and contemporary visual arts. 



It was founded by Yun Jae Kyoung together with a team of 18 Korean master painters who were specially flown in for the project. The museum had over 200 masterpieces, including reproduction of worksof masters, animals, Egyptian ruins and others - most of the are 3D. 


The museum's objective is to showcase the different paintings and sculptures from different places in the Philippines.It exhibits what the Metropolitan museum theater surpassed through the years and how its culture remained. One of the things that were featured was the architectural style of the theater, also the history and the other works of its architect who is Juan Arellano. 

On the second floor of the museum it exhibits different types of art and how it evolved through the years. We're not given a chance to take photos with those paintings and sculptures, for it is one of the signed agreement between the museum and the artists. The museum also has braile system for blind people; so that they can know what the art is all about and appreciate it. 

It shows a value that we should apply in our daily lives and that is to respect and care for others... especially the PWD's. The museum showed it in a very simple way and it made a huge impact to us.
