ABOUT

The Yuchengco Museum opened its doors to the public in September 2005. Its primary goal is to foster a greater public appreciation of art through the finest international as well as local, cultural, historical, and design exhibits and programs. 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.

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.

Fernando Amorsolo: Partnership with The Danilo Soriano Family Foundation and The Fernando C. Amorsolo Art Foundation

The Yuchengco Museum is deeply honored and grateful to receive five remarkable paintings by National Artist Fernando Amorsolo, a generous bequest from The Danilo Soriano Family Foundation. This significant contribution enriches our Main Gallery, aligning seamlessly with our year-long exhibition showcasing the Yuchengco Group’s corporate collection of Amorsolo masterpieces. The synergy between Yuchengco Museum's commitment to promoting artistic legacies and the Fernando C. Amorsolo Art Foundation's dedication to preserving the Maestro's unique style is truly commendable. Together, we continue to foster appreciation for Philippine art and heritage. This collaboration not only pays tribute to Dr. Danilo Buenaflor Soriano, a Filipino physician based in the US but also propels us toward a future filled with more art, learning, and community support.
