Virtual Visits | Gold In Our Veins by Mark Lewis Lim Higgins

Gold In Our Veins by Mark Lewis Lim Higgins was Ayala Museum’s finale exhibition before we closed our doors for renovations in 2019.

This unique exhibition tells the story of a re-imagined antiquity through a series of portraits inspired by the ancient histories of Indochina, the East Indies, and the Philippine Archipelago. It transforms our gallery into a warehouse that celebrates the complex heritage and shared culture of Southeast Asia from the Philippine perspective.
