Last 6 November 2023, the National Museum of the Philippines (NMP), in partnership with CEED - Center for Energy, Ecology and Development and Protect the Verde Island Passage, launched the special photo exhibition “Our VIP: Protecting a Paradise in Peril” to raise awareness about the threats faced by the Verde Island Passage (VIP).

A special exhibition featuring award-winning, multidisciplinary artist Leeroy New and other emerging Filipino artists is now on view at the National Museum of Anthropology (NMA). “Alamat: Revisiting Philippine Folklore” draws from the mystical narratives and iconography of Philippine folklore, offering a harmonious confluence of tradition and modernity.

This year’s Museums and Galleries Month has been more meaningful as the National Museum of the Philippines received two recognitions this first week of #MGM2023: the NMP’s first ISO 9001:2015 Certification for its Quality Management System (QMS), covering the processes on the provision and management of museum exhibitions, visitor experience, and support services that are compliant with international standards, and the Program to Institutionalize Meritocracy and Excellence in Human Resource Management (PRIME-HRM) Maturity Level II in Recruitment, Selection and Placement (RSP), and Performance Management (PM) from the Civil Service Commission (CSC).

Asahan ninyong patuloy kaming magsisilbing tagapangalaga ng kultura at pamanang Pilipino. Patuloy ninyo kaming samahan na tunghayan, unawain, at pahalagahan ang ating pagkakakilanlang bayan! Bukas ang museo mula Martes hanggang Linggo, ika-9 ng umaga hanggang ika-6 ng gabi. LIBRE ang pagpasok!
