Filipino Heritage Library

Contains good resources on Filipino history, art and culture, and is also the repository of thousands of images related to the Philippines. Photography and writing workshops are occasionally offered and there's an excellent bookshop on-site.

Admission is separate from the Ayala Museum – just tell them you're going up to the library.
