Aside from the National Museum of the Philippines, the Ayala Museum has been a vital hub for showcasing Filipino culture and history. Established by Fernando Zobel in April 1967, it was later relocated to Makati City in June 1974.

Originally featuring 63 hand-carved hardwood dioramas from Paete, Laguna, it now stands in the heart of the Makati Central Business District, gifted to the Filipino people by Ayala Corporation in 2004. The museum’s rich collection includes archaeological, ethnographic, historical, fine arts, numismatics, and ecclesiastical artifacts, reflecting the diverse heritage of the Philippines.
