🖼️ Now Open: The Art of Worth

What makes something valuable? Who decides?

Under the Yuchengco Museum’s Curators Lab, Joel Wijangco presents ‘The Art of Worth’, bringing together six works of art from the YGC Collection in dialogue with luxury fashion and design. The exhibition invites visitors to consider the relationship between artistic merit, craftsmanship, rarity, reputation, and price.

Featuring paintings, sculptures, and art objects by Filipino artists, alongside fashion presented by the Philippine Fashion Coalition (PFC) and furniture by SoFA Design Institute, the exhibition turns looking into an exercise in judgment.

When art and luxury share the same space, what shapes our perception of value? And what, if anything, can a price tag tell us about a work of art?

Visit ‘The Art of Worth’ and decide for yourself.

Presenting an afternoon of photography, conversation, pottery, and food as we look more closely at the Cordillera’s enduring relationship with rice. 🍚

Noli Gabilo, a renowned Filipino master travel, landscape, and astrophotography artist talks about ‘The Cordillera Rice Culture: How I Photograph It’, sharing his longstanding photographic engagement with the region and its communities. A mentor to @joeydc_pottery, @nol.ig.abilo’s photographs offer a perspective that places landscape, culture, and everyday life at the centre of the conversation.

@toyoeatery brings the story of the Cordillera to the table through Tinawon heirloom rice, a treasured variety preserved by Ifugao communities across generations. For this special tasting, Tinawon will be served in Joey de Castro’s handmade pottery, whose forms and textures draw inspiration from the landscapes of the Cordillera.

Together, the works invite us to consider the many ways culture is carried forward — through looking, making, growing, and sharing.

Rice, land, culture, and art — brought together through the lens and to the table.

In Memoriam: Prime Minister Cesar E. A. Virata

Together with his family, friends, and loved ones, the Yuchengco Museum mourns the passing of Prime Minister Cesar E.A. Virata, who served on the Museum’s Board of Trustees since its founding.

For more than two decades, Prime Minister Virata shared his steadfast support for the Museum and offered invaluable guidance on its programs, policies, and institutional development. His service and counsel have been an enduring part of the Museum’s history.

The Board of Trustees and Staff of the Yuchengco Museum extend our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones. We honor his legacy of service and his lasting contribution to the Museum. May he rest in peace.

Coming to Life: Through the Lens & to the Table
Friday, 9 October at 1PM

At the Yuchengco Museum, photography, pottery, and food come together in an exploration of the Cordillera — its landscapes, traditions, and enduring relationship with rice. Join us for a talk on photography and a culinary experience for @joeydc_pottery’s ongoing showcase, ‘Coming to Life’ at YSpace.

📷 Noli Gabilo, photographer and mentor of the artist, presents ‘The Cordillera Rice Culture: How I Photograph It’, drawing from his longstanding engagement with the region and its communities. His photographs are placed in dialogue with the work of Joey de Castro, whose handmade pottery reflects the forms and textures of the Cordillera.

🍲 For the occasion, Toyo Eatery will present a tasting featuring Tinawon heirloom rice, a treasured rice variety preserved by Ifugao communities across generations.

In this special event, @toyoeatery will serve Tinawon in Joey de Castro’s handmade pottery pieces, inspired by the landscapes of the Cordillera. Served in Tinawon bowls, the meal brings together the practices of looking, making, and sharing.

A coming together of rice, land, culture, and art — through the lens and at the table.

Limited tickets to Through the Lens & to the Table are available at linktr.ee/yuchengcomuseum.

🥮 Happy Mid-Autumn Festival from the Yuchengco Museum!

We welcome the Mid-Autumn season with this Autumn piece depicting swallows and chrysanthemums from ‘Four Seasons’, painted in the 19th century.

Chrysanthemums, delicately rendered in this 19th-century panel, are a timeless symbol of autumn in traditional Chinese paintings. These flowers are often associated with longevity, resilience, and the beauty of the changing seasons.

Let us celebrate this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, a time for gathering, reflection, and appreciating beauty in the passing of time through the seasons. 🌕🏮

‘Four Seasons’, 19th century. Set of four ink on rice paper panels. Collection of the Yuchengco Group of Companies

Now open: ‘Coming to Life’ by Joey De Castro 🏺

In this showcase, @joeydc_pottery revisits his origins in photography, juxtaposing works from his photographic practice with pieces from his ongoing exploration of ceramics. Across both mediums, qualities of colour, texture, and composition emerge through the process of creating.

“After years of working with clay—shaping, firing, and grounding my practice in the physical—this exhibition marks a return to where it all started. Before pottery, there was photography. It was my first way of seeing—of framing the world.”—Joey De Castro

View ‘Coming to Life’ by Joey De Castro, a presentation of the artist’s photography and pottery, at the Yuchengco Museum this September through October 2026.
