The Lopez Museum was founded on 13 February 1960 by Eugenio Lopez, Sr. in honor of his parents, Benito Lopez and Presentacion Hofileña. Eugenio Lopez, Sr. built the museum to provide scholars and students access to his personal collection of rare Filipiniana books, manuscripts, maps, archaeological artifacts and fine art.

Today, The Lopez Museum is the oldest privately owned and managed museum and library specializing in Philippine material. Its collection reach back to books and maps of the sixteenth century, works by the first internationally acclaimed duo of Filipino painters, Juan N. Luna (1857-1899) and Felix P. Resurreccion Hidalgo (1855-1913), plus priceless personal effects of Philippine National Hero José Rizal (1861-1896). With over 500 works in its growing museum collection and over 20,000 titles in its expanding library catalogue, the museum cares for holdings covering 600 years of scholarship and artistry.
