Last February, the NMP and the Clark Development Corporation signed a Deed of Usufruct for the adaptive reuse of the former Clark Airbase Hospital as a museum for at least 50 years.
Located in the City of Mabalacat, the National Museum in Clark will feature exhibitions on local history, art, culture, natural history, anthropology, and archaeology. It will also serve as an off-site location for NMP’s central office and national collection repositories, among other functions.
The upcoming museum in Clark is part of the Component Museum series of the NMP. Museums will also rise in Baler, Aurora (Baler Convention Center), Victorias City, Negros Occidental (Old Victorias City Hall), Davao City (Davao People’s Park).
Meanwhile, there are also plans to develop museums in Banton (Romblon), Taal (Batangas), San Jose de Buenavista (Antique), and Tacloban City (Leyte)!
