Yuchengco Museum

Manila


A mismatch among Makati's corporate high-rises, this fantastic art and design gallery was established by prominent businessman and former UN diplomat, Alfonso Yuchengco. Set over three levels, its collection ranges from paintings by Filipino masters to contemporary art exhibitions.

There's also a display of José Rizal memorabilia (including love letters), and photos of Yuchengco's meetings with a who's who of world leaders.
