Ayala Museum

The Ayala Museum is the private museum that anchors Filipino art and history in Makati. Its pre-colonial gold collection, Gold of Ancestors, and the sixty handcrafted history dioramas are the reasons to come. A two-year renovation reopened the building in late 2021 with a digital gallery and cleaner display.

Why go

  • ·Gold of Ancestors holds over a thousand pre-colonial gold objects, the best such collection in the country
  • ·The sixty dioramas walk you through Philippine history in one floor
  • ·Strong rotating shows of Filipino modern and contemporary art
