THE 4TH floor of the National Museum of the Philippines-Davao will be temporarily closed due to ongoing maintenance beginning Feb. 9 until further notice.
The 4th floor houses the Kabilin: Enduring Textile Traditions of Mindanao and Ang Kiukok galleries.
NMP-Davao advised the visitors that all other exhibits on the lower floors remain open to the public.
“We appreciate your patience as we work to improve your museum experience,” NMP Davao said in a statement.
On Feb. 2, NMP-Davao, in collaboration with the Ugnayan ng Pahinungod of the University of the Philippines Mindanao, launched a special art exhibit featuring the winning works from the Mindanao Week of Peace Art Workshop in line with the National Arts Month celebration.
The exhibit features visual narratives created by young Mindanaoan artists with themes of peace, identity, and shared humanity.
A total of nine winning artworks produced from 2023 to 2025 are on display at the First Floor of NMP-Davao from Feb. 2 to Feb. 28, 2026.
After a three-month hiatus, the NMP-Davao, with its iconic durian-inspired facade, recently reopened its doors to the public on January 11.
The museum was temporarily closed on Oct. 10, 2025, following the 7.4 magnitude earthquake that struck the Davao Region on the same day.
While the strong tremor caused visible cracks on several wall surfaces due to stress absorption, the Office of the City Building Official confirmed that the structural integrity of the building remains secure.
NMP, on the other hand, reported that the collections remained safe and intact.
At present, except for the 4th floor, the museum is on its regular schedule: Tuesday to Sunday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The museum entrance is free and is located inside People’s Park, J. Palma Gil Street, Davao City.
