Art galleries in Manila
Manila, Metro Manila has 26 art galleries on the map. That's 26 galleries mapped around Manila. The exhibition schedule matters more than the count: a small gallery with a great current show beats a big one between exhibitions. Many are free to enter, so the only cost of a gallery afternoon is your time.
This guide covers every art gallery we could verify in and around Manila (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include León Gallery International and Art Underground, plus Finale Art File. If a gallery's missing from Manila's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet.

Gallery tips for Manila
How the regulars do Manila's galleries:
- Note the curator's name at León Gallery International. Good curators have taste you can follow. If you loved the show, look up what else they've put together.
- Ask about private views at Art Underground. Mailing lists get you invited to previews — quieter, with the artists around and first pick of the work.
- Check the exhibition schedule first. A gallery is only as good as its current show. Two minutes on the website saves a wasted trip between exhibitions.
- The bookshop corner is curated. Gallery bookshops stock the art books the big stores don't. Worth ten minutes on the way out.
Good to know
We searched about 40 km around Manila — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new art gallery in Manila can take a while to appear. The 26 above are only as current as the community map. A art gallery that's shut, or a new one nobody's added yet, gets fixed with a single OpenStreetMap edit.
We don't review exhibitions — shows change too fast. What we list is the where: real galleries, verified by real mappers.
If you run one of the 26 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
Art gallery listings for Manila: 26 mapped from OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). Photos from Wikimedia Commons contributors; individual photo credits appear in captions. Listing data was last refreshed automatically — verify hours before visiting.
