via Malaya Business Insight, 05 January 2023: New branch of the National Museum of the Philippines in Dumaguete City.
After undergoing years of meticulous restoration which was stalled by the pandemic, the National Museum of the Philippines (NMP) recently inaugurated its 14th branch in Dumaguete City which showcases the geology, zoology, botany, archaeology and marine biodiversity of the two Negros provinces.
Housed at the Dumaguete Presidencia or old municipal hall, it also has exhibits on architectural arts and built heritage of Negros Oriental and Siquijor, and a few loaned items from the Silliman University Museum.
The museum is also envisioned to showcase seasonal and thematic displays, as well as art exhibits in the future.
