PSA: The National Museum of the Philippines Is Now Open Everyday
All regional component museums are included, too.
(SPOT.ph) The National Museum announced that it will now be open to the public seven days a week. Gone are the days when dreary Mondays meant holding off on visits to any of the National Museums nationwide.
Starting in 2025, the National Museum of Fine Arts, the National Museum of Anthropology, the National Museum of Natural History, and all the regional component museums will be open to guided and self-paced tours and walk-in visitors from Monday through Sunday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Exploring the National Museum
ICYDK, the National Museum, includes not only the three museums in the National Museum Complex in Manila but also over 16 regional museums throughout the country, such as the National Museum in Cebu and the one in Davao, which opened just last December. There are also site museums, like Tabon Cave and the Angono-Binangonan Petroglyphs. Even the National Planetarium was managed by the National Museum before its temporary closure. All these sites can be visited for free.
"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," says the National Museum in a post on its social media pages.
In addition to offering free admission, the National Museum has free guided tours of the National Museum of Fine Arts, the National Museum of Anthropology, and the National Museum of Natural History, available upon request for groups of no more than 35. To request a tour, send your letter of request to reservation@nationalmuseum.com.ph at least five days before your visit.
