Envisioned in the 1950s by the late artist, Fernando Zobel de Ayala y Montojo, the Ayala Museumbecame a reality in 1967 as a project of the Ayala Foundation, Inc. Through exhibitions and educational programs, the museum fulfills its mission of preserving, interpreting, and promoting awareness, understanding, and appreciation of the arts and culture of the Philippines.
Located in the heart of Makati City, the stunning new building that the Museum occupies today, on Makati Avenue, corner De La Rosa Street, was formally dedicated on September 28, 2004 as Ayala's gift to the Filipino people in celebration of the Ayala Corporation's 170th Anniversary. Now with a world-class facility and a renewed mission to recollect the country's past and represent its future, Ayala Museum aims to serve as the locus of cultural exchange between similar institutions abroad and Filipinos.
The Museum's mandate to serve the community and the nation is captured by the phrase re-collecting the past, re-presenting the future. We re-collect our past by bringing back to the country overseas collections to share with the Filipino people; we re-present the future by situating contemporary Philippine art in the global arena in a two-way highway mutual cooperation and exchange with local and international partners.
With the existing core collections enhanced by loans from private and public collections, the museum maintains its twofold identity as both historical and art museum.
Located at Makati Avenue corner De La Rosa Street, Greenbelt Park, Ayala Center, Ayala Museum is open on Tuesday to Friday from 9 AM to 6 PM and on Saturday and Sunday from 10 AM to 7PM. Regular admission fees are P350 for adults and P250 for children, students, and senior citizens. Discounted rates for Philippine residents are P150 for adults and P75 for children, respectively. For inquiries, please call 757-7117 to 21 or visit www.ayalamuseum.org. |
