The National Museum was established in 1901 as the Museum of the Philippine People. Its current buildings were originally constructed in the early 20th century, with the Fine Arts building formerly serving as the Congress of the Philippines. Over the decades, the museum has grown to become the nation's primary repository of cultural and natural heritage.
