Located smack in the middle of the Makati Central Business District in the Philippines, this museum is easily accessible, especially if you’re staying at a hotel in Manila, Makati, of the likes of Berjaya Makati Hotel.
History
The Ayala Museum was opened in 1967, under the Ayala Foundation, and has since shifted homes and now formally resides in a granite, steel and glass building designed by Leandro V.Locsin. The Philippines Heritage Library has been set up on the topmost floor of the museum and is home to an impressive 13,000 books on Philippines history, more than 2,000 maps and pictures along with digitalized versions of the volumes.
What’s inside?
A collection of items that tell you the rich history of Philippines, its inspiring growth in the past and the contemporary art in the days long gone. An amazing exhibit of 60 dioramas that aptly describe and take you through the nation’s history, this is a favourite among the children too. Furthermore, there is a collection of Hispanic jewellery and some exquisite items that are placed on the museum’s unique rotating exhibit.
