MUSEUMS AND GALLERIES MONTH IN THE PHILIPPINES
Museums and Galleries Month is a national celebration that honors the country’s rich cultural heritage and the vital role that museums and galleries play in preserving and promoting it. The National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), various cultural institutions and government agencies champion the event. This month-long celebration encourages Filipinos to engage with their cultural history, appreciate the arts, and support the preservation of the nation’s collective memory.
Museums and galleries are crucial to society because they serve as repositories of history, art, and culture.

In a rapidly changing world, museums help anchor communities by preserving traditions and showcasing the diverse narratives of the nation’s history.
