Ayala Museum

Greenbelt, Makati, NCR

A privately operated museum in Makati whose permanent collection traces Philippine history through pre-Hispanic gold artifacts, Spanish colonial religious art, and indigenous textile culture. The centerpiece is a series of 60 diorama replicas depicting scenes from Philippine history — handcrafted in exquisite detail — that constitute the most systematic visual account of the archipelago's past in a single room. The museum's commitment to scholarship puts the national museums of most larger countries to shame.
