B. National Musuem
1. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

The first predecessor to today's National Museum was the Insular Museum of Ethnology,
Natural History, and Commerce under the Department of Public Instruction, created in 1901 by the
Philippine Commission. In 1903, the Museum was subsequently transferred to the Department of
Interior and renamed the Bureau of Ethnological Survey. This new bureau was responsible for the
Philippine participation in the Louisiana Purchase Exposition of 1904. After the exposition, it was
abolished as a separate bureau and renamed the Philippine Museum.
 The museum's structure again changed in 1933 when the Philippine Legislature divided the
museum. The museum's Division of Fine Arts and History went to the National Library. Its Division of
Ethnology went to the Bureau of Science. Finally its Division of Anthropology, which included
archaeology, ethnography and physical anthropology, and the other sections of natural history of the
Bureau of Science, were organized into a National History Museum Division. This was transferred to the
Office of the Secretary of Agriculture and Commerce in 1939.

The Japanese occupation of the Philippines during World War II brought the divisions back
under a single National Museum of the Philippines, but the museum lost a large part of its collection
during the Liberation of Manila when the Old Legislative Building was destroyed by American artillery.
The Legislative Building was immediately restored through the American funds bringing the museum
back to its operations.

In 2019, the powers of the National Museum was further expanded through Republic Act No.
11333 which was signed into law by President Rodrigo Duterte. Under the law the museum body's
official name was lengthened to National Museum of the Philippines from just being National Museum.
It was also classified as a government trust attached to the government for only budgetary reasons
preserving a degree of independence and autonomy. It is also mandated to establish regional museums
in each of the country's administrative regions

2. LOCATION

The National Museum of Natural History is the national natural history museum of the
Philippines. It is located along Agrifina Circle in Rizal Park, Manila.

historical and cultural heritage in the reconstruction and rebuilding of our nation's past and veneration
of the great pioneers who helped in building our nation.
