List of public art in Metro Manila

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of public art in Metro Manila, organized by city and municipality. This list applies only to works of public art accessible in an outdoor public space. For example, this does not include artwork visible inside a museum, or installed in any other indoor public space.

Note that Philippine copyright law does not provide freedom of panorama for copyrighted public art, and therefore several images may be missing from this list.
