Ayala Museum: Recollecting The Past And Re-Presenting It To The Future
With 7,107 islands in the western Pacific Ocean, the Republic of the Philippines is a truly splendid nation to head for a holiday; and the holiday will beyond doubt be memorable and one of a kind. Philippines is the 12th most populated country in the world and its culture is vibrant as can be with significant influence by American, Indian, Chinese, Spanish, Mexican and even Islamic cultures.
So in case you want to get a clear picture on this vibrant nation’s history, art and culture then drive straight to the Ayala Museum positioned in Makati City.
It was a dream of late artist, Fernando Zobel de Ayala y Montojo to create the Ayala Museum which soon became a reality in 1967. The museum was initially housed in the Insular Life Building on Ayala Avenue. However the modern day building that houses the museum is situated at the corner of De La Rosa Street and was opened in September 2004.
The Ayala Museum stands by the notion of recollecting the past and re-presenting it to the future. Its efforts of recollecting the past has been and is an immense service to the Philippines as a nation since many of its valuable historical treasures scattered around the world is being brought to one place. Therefore, both Filipino’s and international travellers can get an up close look at the country’s proud heritage of culture and art.
One of the most intriguing features of this impressive Museum is its Maritime Vessels. It is a gallery of dexterously crafted ships that entered the Philippine seas and contributed to the country’s maritime trade. Furthermore, the Diorama Experience comprises of 60 hand-crafted dioramas that narrate the vibrant history the Philippines. Other fascinating permanent exhibitions include Pioneers of Philippine Art, Gold of Ancestors, Embroidered Multiples and a Millennium of Contact.
The museum is also an ideal venue for hosting meetings, conferences, concerts and even cocktail receptions. It also houses a shop where visitors can purchase various products that have been inspired by the museums vast range of exhibits. The cafe placed at the ground floor of Ayala Museum offers its visitors a succulent menu.
The Ayala Museum has today become a must see place for those visiting Philippines. This attempt is made convenient with the array of Makati serviced apartments positioned close by. Most Makati serviced accommodation providers present their guests a perfect blend of warm hospitality and modern facilities that satisfy the needs of even the most discerning guest.
