There are lovely local art pieces through out the museum. Most pieces have a small placard that explains a little of their history. Its definitely worth visiting if you are in the area.

This is a bucket list achievement for me, i always wanted to visit this place but because of schedule conflict i was not able to do so. But today its "bucket list achieved", as expected the artistry of Filipinos especially the Antiqueños are showcased. You can see the work of arts of the artist in the ground floor free of charge, no entrance fee, for the 2nd and 3rd floor you have to pay but in a minimal cost and its indeed worth it. Try to visit this place and you will be surprise how talented people in Western Visayas are.

I love ILOMOCA because it is the first of its kind (being the only contemporary art museum in not only the Visayas, but Mindanao as well). It provides exhibition spaces and galleries for Ilonggo artists to showcase their works. It has been an enriching experience being able to view the housed collections and artwork in ILOMOCA. I look forward to visiting and experiencing new exhibits soon!

I have visited quite a number of museums and it really is one of the modern ones. It features new talents and unique techniques. The fee they collect is reasonable.Camera is prohibited at the second level but then, it is worth visiting if you are in Iloilo.

A very impressive museum with tremendous significance in the Philippines. Spanning 3,000 sq m over three storeys, ILOMOCA is the first contemporary art museum in the Visayas-Mindanao region dedicated mainly to Filipino and Ilonggo artists and is also part of the magnificent and highly artistic 72-hectare Iloilo Business Park development by Megaworld. The museum is in a Spanish-style building and features some truly stunning works by established Ilonggo attists such as Rock Drilon, Ed Defensor and Jose Tence; up-and-coming local artists such as Clairelyn Uy, Toti Cerda and Moreen Austria; and international masters such as Salvador Dali and Adam Miller.Iloilo is one of the provinces with the greatest wealth of artistic talent in the Philippines. As one explores this museum, one truly gets the sense of this depth of talent and also the passion with which the resplendent collection was curated.

The name of this place truly lived up to its meaning. A museum of Contemporary Art. Every art work truly connects with you. I love how the place is curated and how every art piece is highlighted.We took a few picture on the first floor (for souvenirbut we stopped taking it as we explore the upper floor of the building. It is true that some things are more beautiful when you look at it through God-made pair of lenses, our eyes.

In this place, you can find the most important medium art of Filipino artists in our country. Gives a lot of symbols and heavy emotions to the arts. It also inspires the people who see it especially the people who attend this place.

A clean and modern three-level museum housing contemporary artworks of both Ilonggo natives and foreigners.Was particularly impressed with the places modern and spacious interior and the operators effort to catch up with other countries MOCA. Was just slightly disappointed with the limited artworks displayed in the exhibits and the presence of artworks created by non-Ilonggo natives. Could have been better if the museum exclusively showcased artworks of people born in the province.

My first museum here at Iloilo City and it is well curated. The museum is over-all amazing with various galleries that are sanctioned to magnify specific crafts and topics, my favourite being the Adoracion Gallery, wherein the mix of different dynamics of art plus the injection of pop-culture that not just pops color but also nationalistic messages. Kudos to the staff and the curators as well! Definitely, will be visiting with friends soon!

If youre an art enthusiast and you want to take a break from the busy streets of Megaworld Iloilo, then this 3-floor-museum is right for you.Its a 1-2 minutes walk from the Festive Walk Mall. Youll be welcomed with a clean, modern and serene atmosphere.Entrance fee:Adult Php 100Student Php 50Payment will be at the reception area upon entering the museum (in between the escalator and souvenir shop). Youll be then briefed by the receptionist with the rules and regulations while he/she attaches the guest wristlet on your wrist.Picture taking is now allowed (except for selfies and camera flash).You have the freedom to stroll all over the place. However, be aware that they have a tight security. Literally, like they have a security guard and a staff in each gallery. So wherever you go, they will follow you in a distance. But dont worry, they do their best to be in discreet if they feel like you want solitude. Theyre also very accommodating. Like this one Mister Guard who is so kind he offered to take a picture of me with the painting and sculptures using my camera. Another Miss Guard I met is angle-conscious and she tries to take pictures with a good lighting.All of the paintings and sculptures are mind-blowing. There are some pieces which you need to get a closer and longer look (and some which needs better lightingto see the details and the message they wish to convey.

One of a kind museum in Iloilo City, Philippines. Houses private collections of a prominent Ilonggo to share his love of arts to his fellow Ilonggos. Located in a trendy part of the city where a new mall and restaurants are within walking distance.

It is the perfect place for lovers of the contemporary arts—from paintings, drawings to sculptures and other installation art pieces. This three-level museum regularly updates its exhibits and curated shows. The entire place is clean, modern, and well-maintained. There is also tight security on all floors. Its museum staff members are professional and kind. It offers considerable locker or storage area for the guests small luggages or backpacks. It also has a gift shop that also sells art supplies, aside from the usual souvenir items like magnets and t-shirts. An advice though: Careful with your selfies or photo-ops because photography of some art pieces are not allowed.

The entrance fee is expensive but I understand because it is I guess privately owned. Its a museum filled with personal collection. I hope there will be a guide who will explain the paintings or even just to explain why he collected such artwork. I went there with my family and just looked at each collection and went home. Aside from that the place is spacious and cold. One time trip to the museum is enough for me. Hopefully there will be other exhibits in the future.

Wide range of art and artists. They do not allow photography in Galleries 1-4 but did not really spoil the experience for me. Excellent place to visit but would be better if they have more benches as the place is quite big.

It is new. Its a wow to Iloilo, Philippines. Located in the business park of Iloilo. At the facade is Iloilos hero in a horse ride and the white-painted building symbolizes how contemporary it is. The Galleries at 2nd & 3rd floor showcases known artists in their own known medium in art. Staffs are such a very good welcomer. It is a 100% recommended to see in Iloilo, Philippines.

Going around the museum, I felt pride in being an Ilonggo. The art pieces from established Ilonggo artists were amazing. They are not for sale, although theres a shop where you can buy museum souvenirs. You can take pics on the first floor but its not allowed on the 2nd and 3rd. Entrance fees, P100 adults, P50 students, P80 senior. They also have The Box for conferences, etc.

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to my birth citys first contemporary art museum... three floors of amazing collections of work from Ilonggo, Filipino and international artists including Joan Miro and Chagall!I could easily spend hours here looking at all the pieces! Entrance fees are at $2 (100 pesosonly but photography is not allowed in the 2nd and 3rd levels. Theres a gallery downstairs with a changing exhibition and a small museum shop, although the shop is a bit boring and lacks oomph, to be honest.Nevertheless, this place should be added on your list when visiting Iloilo.

This is an additional must-see in the city in response to the resurging interest of Filipinos (particularly Ilonggosin various works of art. Entry fee ranges from 50Php-100Php. I assure you that its all worth it to pay a visit here to appreciate contemporary arts. After enjoying artworks, you may savor local delicacies and cuisine just beside the museum. Its location being at the center if the bustling business district of makes it more convenient to everyone.

I am rating ILOMOCA a 10/5 stars. This is really a must-go-to place in Iloilo! True, they have the entrancee fee but its all worth it specially if youre into art and architecture or just a fan of both. The place and the artworks are so cool that I really recommend that you see this! They dont allow cameras in certain areas of the museum but its because the artworks are just too precious. You can witness different artworks with varying styles and media. 💕💕

Entrance Fee: P100.00 (Senior citizen and Student discounts available)Love the place, a much needed upgrade to the art and culture scene in Iloilo. The ambiance is classy and refined. I do not understand why photography is limited only to the lobby but not inside the galleries amf also the check-in on all the bags even small ones. Also their entrance procedure needs to be improved for better efficiency
