The National Museum Complex is the home of the National Museum of the Philippines, through a land grant by Senate Bill 915.

Designated as the National Library in Burnham's plan for Manila, it became the Legislative Building instead in 1929, with both library and museum in the lower floors. The premises served as the Executive House (Prime Ministerial Office) during the 1970's and early '80s) and as the Senate seat from 1986 to 1998, when the whole building was handed over to the National Museum.

The National Museum is the official repository and guardian of the Philippine cultural, historical and natural heritage. Created on October 4, 1901 under its old name, the Insular Museum of Ethnology, National History and Commerce.
