The Yuchengco Museum opened its doors in September 2005 with the support from the Founder, Filipino-Chinese businessman, diplomat, collector, philanthropist, art patron, and education advocate Amb. Alfonso Yuchengco as a safe haven for his art collection but as well as a venue for artistic and cultural exhibitions and excellence. Yuchengco Museum strives to maintain the goal to foster a greater pu
blic appreciation of art through the finest international and local, cultural, historical, design exhibits and programs. Located in the heart of Metro Manila’s financial district, Makati, the Museum is not only a “temple” that showcases art, but also a “forum” of exchange, debate and education. Yuchengco’s distinguished career and the history of the Yuchengco Groups of Companies as seen in the YGC Gallery. The museum also highlights our National Hero Dr. Jose Rizal and those close to him in the Rizal Gallery and masters such as Juan Luna, Fernando Amorsolo and Carlos “Botong” Francisco who have celebrated Filipinos through their pieces. Cesar Legaspi, Ang Kiukok and Vicente Manansala are just a few of the National Artists and incredible names that can also be found throughout the museum’s permanent collections. As art transforms and adapts to a modern world, Yuchengco Museum has expanded to give audiences more access through an online presence. History, exhibits (old and new), films, knowledge & information and shop are now a click away with the website and social media, giving those from far away access to what’s happening locally.
