Quick Take
Art Underground Manila is a contemporary gallery on the second floor of Mabini180 in Addition Hills, founded in 2014 to show painting, sculpture, installation, and new media by emerging and established artists. The reason to visit changes every few weeks because the exhibition—not the building—is the main event. Check the current artist and show dates before commuting, then give yourself time to look instead of speed-running the room for photos. Gallery entry is usually straightforward, but openings, installation days, and private activities can affect access.
