MAKATI CITY — Visitors exploring Makati’s cultural attractions can find another way to connect with Filipino creativity at YShop, the retail space of the Yuchengco Museum. This holiday season, the museum is bringing art beyond its galleries through “The Art of Giving,” a campaign that places thoughtfully selected, art-inspired products at the center of the shopping experience. The initiative introduces a new theme every two weeks, giving visitors changing selections to discover alongside the museum’s exhibitions and cultural offerings. Its first installment, “Women in Art,” puts the work and imagination of Filipino women artists in focus, turning a visit to the museum into an opportunity to appreciate local artistry in a different setting.
A Celebration of Filipino Women Artists
The opening collection highlights how artistic expression can become part of everyday life through products inspired by the creativity of Filipino women. Instead of limiting the experience of art to framed works and gallery displays, the featured pieces allow visitors to encounter creative ideas through items they may bring home or share as gifts. The theme also gives recognition to women artists whose perspectives and imagination contribute to the country’s evolving creative landscape. For travelers and residents looking for locally inspired keepsakes, the collection offers a way to take home something connected to the Filipino art scene while supporting greater appreciation of homegrown creativity.
An Added Stop for Museum Visitors
Beyond its seasonal offerings, YShop complements the Yuchengco Museum’s role as a destination for art, culture, history, and design in the Makati business district. The museum’s retail selection includes merchandise connected to its collections and exhibitions, as well as products reflecting Filipino and Sino-Filipino art and culture. With its rotating campaign themes, the shop gives returning visitors another reason to explore its selections and discover different creative works over time. YShop is located on the second floor of the Yuchengco Museum at RCBC Plaza, which welcomes visitors from Monday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and is closed on Sundays and holidays.
