The transformation of the National Historical Museum will occur over three phases:

Phase 1: Preservation of the existing structure and updating of the museum’s systems. This phase also includes the construction of a History of History Pavilion and a History of the Future Platform as frontispieces to the building, signaling the museum’s forthcoming approach to history.

Phase 2: Curatorial: Construction of the History of History interior pavilions and exhibitions and the History of the Future infrastructure; construction of the cultural mixing spaces that catalyze the building’s two sides: the Culture Café, the Culture Hall, the Culture Commons Hall, and the Culture Forum.

Phase 3: A proposed third phase would entail the construction of an additional exterior pavilion located to the north of the building, housing museum archives, technical spaces and staff offices,  thereby freeing up additional space for educational functions within the museum and allowing for greater circulation between the museum’s two halves.
