Going on a museum crawl this year? Great news, because the National Museum of the Philippines has announced that its museums will now be open seven days a week!
In a social media announcement, the museum unveiled that their Central Complex in Manila and Regional Component Museums across the country will now be open daily for free to make their programs more accessible to the public.
“Universal access has always been our priority. By opening our museums every day and maintaining free admission, we aim to make our programs and services even more accessible to everybody,” the post read.
Previously, the National Museum Complex in Manila, composed of the National Museum of Fine Arts, the National Museum of Anthropology, and the National Museum of Natural History, was closed on Mondays.
With the extended operating hours, visitors can now explore historical artifacts, artworks, and more exhibited at their museums daily, including the newly added “Josephine Sleeping” sculpture in Manila, which was added to the gallery last Dec. 30 in time for the commemoration of Rizal Day.
The National Museum of the Philippines in Manila and their regional sites are open daily from 9 AM to 6 PM. For more information, visit their website or follow them on Facebook and Instagram.
