National Museum Western Visayas
The National Museum (NM) Western Visayas Regional Museum, simply known as the National Museum Western Visayas, is a museum in Iloilo City, Philippines. History

The National Museum Western Visayas would be housed in the Iloilo Provincial Jail which was built in 1911 and used until its abandonment in the 2000s, after a replacement facility was built in 2006. Its satellite office would be at the Old Jaro Municipal Hall which was given to the National Museum of the Philippines (NMP) in 2014 along with the jail building. The old prison building would be converted into a museum by Lim Construction and Trading, a process which began in 2016. A dome structure was added. In February 2017, the NMP Western Visayas satellite office would be established after the renovated Old Jaro Municipal Hall was inaugurated. In April 11, 2018, a turnover ceremony of the renovated ex-prison building to the NMP was held and the museum was inaugurated as the National Museum Western Visayas. Galleries and collection
