It's Me, Gracee: Ayala Museum

Ayala Museum Opens its Doors for Midnight Museum

Ayala Museum Wednesday, October 29, 2014

For the first time ever, the Ayala Museum is opening its doors to everyone who wants to experience a night at the museum. Midnight Museum happens this October 31, 2014 with all galleries open for viewing from 8:00PM until—you guessed it—12 midnight!

In the fanciful spirit of Halloween, guests are also strongly encouraged to come in costume for a chance to be recognized for Costume of the Night by Young Star!

It will be a night of inspiring Philippine art, history, and culture with a touch of whimsy and a pinch of horror. Midnight Museum tickets, sold at Php 500 each (or Php 450 for employees of Ayala Group of Companies and Ayala Museum members), include admission to all galleries.

This is a chance for people who are always completely busy during the day to finally see the well-loved Diorama Experience of Philippine History (will we see the ghost of Andres Bonifacio?) and the awe-inspiring Gold of Ancestors exhibitions.

Two headline contemporary art exhibitions will also kept open for viewing: Mexico: Fantastic Identity, 20th Century Masterpieces from the FEMSA Collection featuring the works of Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco and other Latin American masters; and Journey Through Space: The Visual Odyssey of Fernando Zobel.

There will also be special activities to make the night like no other. This includes a screening of The Voices of a Distant Star by award winning director Shinkai Makoto, a short animated film from the Japan Foundation film library, with robots, aliens, romance, and something for everybody.

The Sipat Lawin Ensemble will also join the fun with a special performance-tour entitled Apparition, taking guests on a mysterious journey throughout the whole museum.

The ticket also serves as a stub for one complimentary drink from Museum Café that night, where the fun continues after midnight. The after party, dubbed Carte Blanche, will include live performances, visuals, DJ sets and deadly Halloween cocktails.

The complete schedule of activities will be posted at www.ayalamuseum.org and Ayala Museum’s official social media channels soon.

Tickets are available at the Ayala Museum ticket counter, and for more information you can call 759-8288 local 29, or e-mail education@ayalamuseum.org. This event is supported by Avida Towers Asten, Museum Café, and Young Star.

Free Admission on Ayala Museum: International Museum Day :)

Ayala Museum Thursday, May 17, 2012

Free admission at Ayala Museum tomorrow! :) yes, you're reading that correctly :)

This is because of the International Museum Day. I am really crossing my fingers that I can drop by there tomorrow. I really want to be part of this. I've been fascinated with museums ever since I was a kid. I think this is the perfect time for all of us to appreciate museums more.

The worldwide community of museums will celebrate the 35th anniversary of International Museum Day around 18 May, 2012.

In 2012, Museums in a Changing World. New Challenges, New inspirations is the theme of International Museum Day. Today, the world is changing faster than ever. New technology delivers new ideas, gigabytes of information, news of an increasingly unstable climate.

International Museum Day will allow its visitors to wonder about the role of museums in our new society, in the era of new media, and to discover and rediscover how museums are looking to the future in terms of sustainable development.

The International Council of Museums (ICOM) established International Museum Day in 1977 to encourage public awareness of the role of museums in the development of society. Momentum has been rising unabated ever since. In 2011, International Museum Day garnered record breaking participation with almost 30,000 museums hosting events in more than 120 countries.

About The Museum

Envisioned in the 1950s by the late artist, Fernando Zobel de Ayala y Montojo, the Ayala Museum became a reality in 1967 as a project of the Ayala Foundation, Inc. (then known as the Filipinas Foundation, Inc.). The museum's first home was in the Insular Life Building on Ayala Avenue in Makati. In 1974, the first Ayala Museum building on Makati Avenue, designed by the late National Artist for Architecture, Leandro V. Locsin, was inaugurated. The museum's current building on the corner of De La Rosa Street was formally dedicated on September 28, 2004. It was Ayala's gift to the Filipino people in celebration of the Ayala Corporation's 170th anniversary. Led by Leandro Y. Locsin, Jr, the museum was designed by the architectural firm Leandro V. Locsin and Partners.
