History

The National Historical Commission of the Philippines was planning to open a museum to house the presidential cars of former Philippine Presidents as early as 2013. [1]

The NHCP secured a location for the museum when it signed a memorandum of agreement with the local government of Quezon City. The city provided at least 3,000 square meters (32,000 sq ft) of space for the museum. The land within the Quezon Memorial Circle where the museum was built was formerly occupied by basketball and volleyball courts which was moved to another part of the park at the NHCP's expense. [2]

The museum was formally inaugurated on August 19, 2018. [3]

Collection

The museum displays the National Historical Commission of the Philippines collection of cars used by former Presidents of the Philippines during their term of office, restored to their original condition. [2] Prior to the opening of the museum, the vehicles were housed in a private warehouse in Pampanga. [4]
