Ayala Museum

The late artist Fernando Zobelde Ayalay Montojo designed the museum in the 1950s, and the Ayala Museum was completed in 1967 as a project of the Ayala Foundation Limited (then known as the Philippine Women's Fund Limited). The museum's main historical collection is sixty handcrafted dioramas documenting the rich history of the Philippines. In addition to this, there are some models made of ships off the coast of the Philippines. In addition to these historical collections, there are archaeological, ethnographic and artistic collections spanning the period from prehistory to the present. Among the artworks are important works by Juan Luna (1857-1899), Fernando Amorsolo (1882-1972), and Fernando Zobel (1924-1984).
