National Museum of the Philippines celebrates its 119th anniversary with a virtual tour

via the Manila Bulletin, 30 October 2020: The National Museum of the Philippines launches a series of virtual tours of its museums in conjunction with its 119th anniversay. The articles below mainly discuss the National Museum’s Fine Arts collections, but there is also a tour of the National Museum of Anthropology, which houses the archaeological collections. I’ve added a link to the Virtual Archaeology page.

Concurrent with the observance of the Museums and Galleries Month, the National Museum of the Philippines (NMP) is also celebrating its 119th founding anniversary by giving the public a 360-degree virtual tour of the National Museum of Fine Arts, featuring the works of some of the world renowned Filipino artists.

Founded on Oct. 29, 1901, the NMP was originally established as an Insular Museum of Ethnology, Natural History, and Commerce, foreshadowing the now National Museum of Fine Arts, the National Museum of Anthropology, and the National Museum of Natural History.
