The Ayala Museum is an art and history museum located in Makati City. The museum was envisioned in the late-1950s by the artist Fernando M. Zobel de Ayala and was formally inaugurated in 1967. In 1974, the building moved to its present location, which was designed by National Artist for Architecture, Leandro V. Locsin. The building was known for its juxtaposed huge blocks. On September 28, 2004, a new building housing the Museum was formally inaugurated. The modern building was designed by the team led by Leandro V. Locsin's son, Leandro, Jr.

Jane Austen's House Museum Postcard

I am a big fan of Jane Austen. When I visited Bath last 2005, I was able to visit another Jane Austen museum and was able to buy several Austen items. Unfortunately I wasn't able to visit the museum in Hampshire, even though I stayed at nearby Dorset.
If anyone want to trade Jane Austen postcards or items, please do leave a comment.

Both postcards also show the Oblation which is the iconic symbol of the University of the Philippines, represented by a man with arms wide-stretched and face facing up, symbolizing selfless offering of one's self to his country. The Oblation was made by Professor Guillermo E. Tolentino with the help of Anastacio T. Caedo, his student apprentice.
