Collected with Purpose, Preserved with Pride.
Founded in 1995, Gallery of Prints is the Philippines’ first and only gallery dedicated to original antique prints and books published before 1900. With a focus on Filipiniana and the broader history of Southeast Asia, we offer one of the most extensive collections of rare historical material in the region, featuring works from the 16th century all the way to the late 19th century.
In 2018, we hosted the prestigious IMCoS Symposium in Manila, with an exhibition at the Ayala Museum showcasing three original Murillo Velarde 1734 maps displayed together with all known editions for the first time in over a century. The accompanying book, Insulae Indiae Orientalis, documented this landmark event.
In response to evolving interest, we added handcrafted globes by COLUMBUS to our lineup in 2021. We also offer conservation-grade services including museum matting, framing, and UV-protective glazing, in partnership with our sister company Rudolf Lietz, Inc.
Our Story
Our journey began in SM Megamall, followed by a successful tenure in Glorietta 3, Makati. In February 2025, we opened our new permanent home in Merville, Parañaque. Over the decades, we’ve become internationally recognized for our curated collection of original maps, views, and natural history prints that bring to life centuries of Philippine and regional heritage.
From zoology and ethnography to cartography and travel, our inventory spans six centuries and rivals that of any gallery in Asia or beyond. We proudly published the first visual compendium of 19th-century prints of the Philippines in 1998 and have since continued to expand our offerings to include posters, postcards, rare globes, and museum-quality reproductions.
