Titled Reuniting the Surigao Treasure, this new exhibition adds a select 38 goldworks loaned from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas to around 1,000 gold items on permanent display at the Ayala Museum. This joint exhibit demonstrates the rich artistic traditions, complex social hierarchies, and sophisticated economic practices of precolonial Philippines.
Curated by former Ayala Museum director Dr. Florina Capistrano-Baker, this showcase brings to the Philippines a larger precolonial gold exhibit than another display, the successful joint exhibit in 2015 at the Asia Society Museum in New York City co-curated by Dr. Capistrano-Baker and Dr. Adriana Proser.
“For the first time ever in the Philippines, these once-dispersed gold objects have finally come together in the exhibition Reuniting the Surigao Treasure here at the Ayala Museum.
