Review & FAQ:

The National Museum oversees several branches from their main museum, including National Art Gallery, Planetarium, a series of regional museums, as well as The Museum of Filipino People in Manila. The museum is housed in a building that was originally constructed in 1918 and was once used as the government offices of Manila, including housing the Senate and House of Representatives. The building was nearly demolished due to 1945 bombings but was rebuilt in 1946 and soon was turned into The Museum of the Filipino People and National Art Gallery. The exhibits included at the Museum of the Filipino People include the wreck site of the San Diego exhibit, Five Centuries of Maritime Trade Before the Arrival of the West, The Origin Story, Archaeological Treasures, and The Filipinos and Their Rich Cultural Heritage.
