    Background[edit]

    The National Museum Complex is the collective designation for the central museums of the National Museum of the Philippines as per the Republic Act No. 8492. also known as the National Museum Act of 1998. It reserved the Executive House Building (also known as the Old Congress Building), the Department of Finance Building and the Department of Tourism Building along the Agrifina CircleinRizal Park, as the permanent and exclusive site of the National Museum.[1] The National Planetarium, also within the site of the Rizal Park and managed by the National Museum since 1975, was included in the complex by virtue of Republic Act No. 11333.[2] The buildings named in Republic Act No. 8492 would be converted into distinct museums.

    The National Museum of the Philippines, the umbrella museum institution of the government, is responsible in managing and developing the Complex.[3]
