History
The University of San Carlos Museum has been operating as early as 1952 but it was only on April 23, 1967, that inauguration rites for the museum was conducted which was graced by Verbite priest and then University of San Carlos President, Rudolf Rahmann and then First Lady Imelda Marcos. In 1967, the museum then occupied just two classrooms and another room. By 2017, it was occupying the ground floor wings of the Arthur Dingman Building along P. Del Rosario Street at USC's Downtown Campus[1]
