About this event
The Surigao Treasure is a hoard of pre-colonial gold unearthed in northeastern Mindanao, and this long-run exhibition reunites pieces held separately by the Ayala Museum and the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas for the first time. The regalia, ritual objects and ornaments show the sophistication of these islands' polities centuries before the Spanish arrived, and they sit alongside the museum's permanent Gold of Ancestors gallery. For anyone wanting to understand the Philippines on its own terms, it is a serious and rewarding stop, and a dependable one for visiting family or out-of-town guests. The museum opens Tuesday to Sunday, 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM, in Greenbelt Park; an early afternoon visit pairs well with lunch in Makati.
