Culture Index exists to catalog cultural institutions online, and highlight the best practices that inspire us.
Launching with a focus on museums and building from there, we are a resource for both research and discovery. Browse information about online communications, and discover ideas with examples of what’s possible for cultural institutions in the digital space.
As a community project facilitated by Base, we invite you to use and contribute to this growing resource.
Ayala Museum
As an artist with a vision, Fernando Zobel laid the foundation for the establishment of the Ayala Museum in April 1967 as a project of the Filipinas Foundation, Inc. (now Ayala Foundation, Inc). The museum was transferred to a new location in June 1974 along Makati Avenue in Makati City, Metro Manila (the current location of the Greenbelt Chapel). The museum opened with 63 dioramas made of hand-carved hardwood by woodcarvers from Paete, Laguna, presenting historical highlights in Philippine history, and a library and iconographic archives.
