Founded in 1981 as a non profit, apolitical, non-sectarian organization, the Museum Volunteers of the Philippines (MVP) aims to study the Philippines setting in its historical and Asian context and to promote friendship and understanding within our international membership. Initially, the MVP focused on voluntary work in local museums but over time has broadened its activities. Between September and May, regular activities include monthly lectures, study groups, the February lecture series, 'MVP After 8' lectures, excursions and the Philippines: Past & Present history course. During June, July and August a summer program is conducted for interested members. Membership entitles you to attend these activities.
