Ayala Museum Reviews

This is an exceptionally good museum. The building itself is pristine and the exhibition spaces well laid out over several floors with interpretation boards in English.
The modelling of the dioramas tracing the history of the Philippines was particularly good. In the section chronicling ancient gold artickes, the display cases were usefully fitted with magnifying glasses so as to see the fine craftsmanship.
Also a section featuring 19th C Artist Luna and accompanying video documentary was very interesting. Definitely worth a visit

It is a great place to spend with school going kids to get them excited about the Philippines history. The fashion, gold ornaments and pins, the art, the depictions of various important historical milestones, all made them engaged for 2hrs. I would highly recommend downloading the museum app before hand and to take your headphones along to get the audio explanation of various artifacts.

One of the most unique museums I've been. I especially enjoyed the historical dioramas depicting and narrating the history of the Philippines (located in the 2nd floor). The artists took time to meticulously make them. Truly amazing!
Saw the Juan Luna exhibit of his long-lost masterpiece.
I really loved all the exhibits. Kudos to the museum curators and staff.

This is a wonderful museum with carefully curated exhibits. It is a great place to get away from the chaos and noise of the streets of Manila. The exhibit on the famous Filipino artist Luna was very well designed.

Ayala Museum is a well-curated museum and art gallery.
Highlights of our Nov 2023 visit:
1. “Splendor”, the Juan Luna exhibit - It includes a nice film which tells the story of how “Hymen, oh Hyménée” resurfaced after years of being kept in France. Every Filipino needs to see this. Such a masterpiece!
2. “Gold of Ancestors” - Spectacular display of antique gold pieces from the pre-Spanish era. The exhibit is modern with an intro video + clever ways of examining the art. (Don’t miss out on the drawers.)
3. Diorama - Creative way of telling Philippine history. We enjoyed going from window to window. Learned a lot!

All I have to say is take your time to read and see the sketches before seeing the painting. It's a pity it is leaving at the end of 2023 but well worth the entrance fee.
Never realized we had a lot of gold locally.

Love the discount for teachers and the efficient ticketing system. Start from the top floor, the gold exhibit then spend the remaining time for the remaining exhibits. Weekdays are not so crowded days.

My sister and I went there yesterday free entrance because it was international museum day. There are four floors but what we liked the most were the gold collections, the beautiful work of gold, different types of cloth, ancient tools and so on. The staff are also kind in assisting the guests, there are also booths for free coffee and brownies. A fun experience.

Ayala Museum is a museum in Makati privately run by the Ayala Foundation. We have been going there since I was a little girl together with my family. I learned a lot about Philippine history through the dioramas and other exhibits inside. I'm so happy to be able to be back here after how many decades. It is definitely bigger with more exhibits to offer like the Indigenous Textiles, ceramics and cultural currency, the globe digital gallery to name a few. It is very worth while to visit this museum.

I only had a few minutes there since I had to be somewhere. But the Splendor exhibition was really great! Juan Luna was truly a gifted painter and every Filipino should catch the exhibit as it lasts only until December 31, 2023, then it goes back to its owner.

I can vividly remember this museum as one of the places we visited on our school field trips during mid 70s.. This is along Makati Avenue cor Dela Rosa Street in Makati City. A glimpse from the window glass panel outside you can view some of their best piece of artifacts collection from the old century.

Ayala Museum is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in Philippine history, culture, and art. From the moment you step inside, you are greeted with a sense of wonder and discovery. The museum's layout is well-designed, making it easy to navigate and explore the diverse exhibits.
One of the highlights of Ayala Museum is its comprehensive collection of artifacts and artworks that beautifully showcase the rich heritage of the Philippines. The Gold of Ancestors exhibit is particularly captivating, with its stunning display of ancient gold jewelry and ceremonial objects. It provides a glimpse into the country's pre-colonial past and the extraordinary craftsmanship of its ancestors.
The museum also offers a fascinating journey through Philippine history through its meticulously crafted dioramas. These vivid scenes transport you to pivotal moments in the nation's development, allowing you to immerse yourself in the past and gain a deeper understanding of the country's cultural identity.
Moreover, Ayala Museum embraces contemporary art, featuring a range of thought-provoking exhibitions that highlight the talent and creativity of Filipino artists. The modern art section offers a refreshing contrast to the historical exhibits and demonstrates the vibrant and evolving nature of Philippine art.
Throughout my visit, the museum staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the exhibits. Their enthusiasm was contagious, enhancing the overall experience and creating a welcoming atmosphere.
Additionally, Ayala Museum regularly hosts educational programs, workshops, and events that further enrich visitors' understanding of Philippine culture and history. These activities provide valuable opportunities for learning and engagement, particularly for students and families.
Lastly, I appreciate the amenities provided by the museum, such as a well-stocked gift shop where you can find unique souvenirs and books related to Philippine arts and culture.
In conclusion, Ayala Museum is a gem that showcases the diverse and fascinating aspects of Philippine heritage. Its impressive collection, engaging exhibits, and knowledgeable staff make it a truly memorable destination for locals and tourists alike. I highly recommend visiting Ayala Museum to discover the beauty and depth of Philippine history and culture.

Manila’s finest museum. Probably even Philippines. Although collection isn’t large as the public museum like the national museum of art, the curation and presentation was on point. On the top level, it displayed ancient gold, I’ve never seen that much gold in a room!
On the second level, there’s a small contemporary art and various artifacts from the Spanish colonization.
My favorite is on the first level - which display more than 50 dioramas, telling stories of the history of the Philippines - from Stone Age to most recent. I does really help to grasp, even on a surface, the long standing history of the country. The dioramas are also well done and well it, with much details and helpful descriptions.

The museum is well maintained! Worth visiting.

Great museum. I only had a short time in Manila and this museum was perfect to give me a snap shot of the history of the Phillipines. Very modern and positioned in a central area of Makati. Highly recommended

Ayala Museum showcased BPI's collection of artworks on display with free admission. As an art lover myself, I'm overjoyed to view gorgeous artworks of different painting styles (realism, abstract, impressionism and expressionism) presented in different mediums of oil, pastel, spray paint and watercolour. Painting themes carries portrait arts, history, genre and still life. The staff was friendly and kind. It's a lovely museum accessible to Greenbelt 5.

Amazing museum. It starts with the gold exhibition and ends with a very complete display of the Philippines history (since ancient times till its independence). At the end of the museum there's a gallery showing videos about contemporary history of the Philippines. The museum is very well maintained and the facilities are very nice. Entry fee is a bit higher compared to other museums (600 php) but totally worth it!

Nicely put together museum with nice artifacts, and great diorama about the history of the Philippines. Enjoyed this museum and learned so much!

If you are interested on Spanish time Arts incorporated with Filipino History, this place is perfect for you.
I was given the chance to visit the Ayala Museum as an AYLC 2022 delegate and I am thankful for the opportunity.
Here, I was able to see a lot of significant arts (from well known artists). It also gave us a glimpse of Philippines history.
What I liked the most in this museum is the Dioramas. It was well made and it incorporated the history of what happened before.
This museum has a lot to offer. And I assure you, the general admission would be worth it. Though of course, there are restrictions to be followed. Some these restrictions include "not taking photos" of some of the art works, crafts, and others.
