RIZALizing the Future

June 3 – October 29, 2011

Jose Rizal (1861–1896) is an integral part of the Filipino psyche, with his iconic image and enduring spirit seen in all aspects of our culture, landscape, and daily life. To mark the 150th anniversary of Rizal’s birth and the 100th anniversary of the Yuchengco Group of Companies, the Yuchengco Museum presents RIZALizing the Future, an exhibit rendering our National Hero in a more popular light. The show surveys the industries, brands, movements, and directions that have pointed to Rizal as their root of inspiration, and challenges visitors to imbibe and carry on Rizal’s spirit.
