The National Museum of the Philippines (NMP) is set to significantly expand its reach this year with the opening of three new museums across the country. These ambitious projects in Clark, Pampanga; Baler, Aurora; and Davao City aim to bring the nation's rich cultural heritage closer to the public and further enrich the country’s cultural landscape.

The NMP Clark Museum will be housed in the former Clark Air Base Hospital, a site steeped in history. Used during both World War II and the Vietnam War, the hospital carries a unique legacy, with some even considering it a "haunted" location due to its intriguing past. The museum is expected to incorporate this historical context into its exhibits, offering visitors a unique blend of history and culture.

In the north, the NMP Baler Museum will pay tribute to the vibrant history and cultural heritage of Aurora province. This museum will showcase the region's unique traditions, art forms, and historical significance, providing visitors with a deeper understanding of this captivating part of the Philippines.

Finally, the NMP Davao Museum will celebrate the extraordinary diversity of Mindanao. It will highlight the region’s rich indigenous artistry, traditions, and cultural expressions, offering a captivating glimpse into the vibrant and diverse cultures that make up this southern island.

The opening of these three new museums marks a significant milestone for the NMP, bringing the nation’s cultural treasures closer to the public and fostering a deeper appreciation for Philippine history and art.
