The Yuchengco Museum opened its doors to the public in September 2005.
The
Museum was created to house the art collection of Ambassador Alfonso T.
Yuchengco, and highlight his distinguished career as a businessman,
diplomat, collector, philanthropist, patron of the arts, and advocate
for education in the Philippines and beyond.
The Museum’s
primary goal is to foster a greater public appreciation of the finest
in Filipino and Filipino-Chinese visual arts and creativity. Located in
Makati, the heart of Metro Manila’s financial district, the Museum is
not only a “temple” that showcases art, but also a “forum” of exchange,
debate, and education.
