{{Nouvelle Alexandrie Article}}The '''National Museum Complex''' ([[Martino language|Martino]]: '''Complejo de Museos Nacionales'''), also known simply as the '''National Museums''', is a large cultrual and educational campus in [[Cárdenas]], the capital of [[Nouvelle Alexandrie]]. It consists of a total of four main institutions: the '''Museum of Science and Technology''' ([[Martino language|Martino''':''']] '''Museo de Ciencia y Tecnologia'''), the '''National Museum of New Alexandrian History''' ([[Martino language|Martino]]: '''Museo Nacional de Historia de Nouvelle Alexandrie'''), the '''National Museum of Fine Arts''' ([[Martino language|Martino]]: '''Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes'''), and the '''National Portrait Gallery''' ([[Martino language|Martino]]: '''Galería Nacional de Retratos'''). Together, they form the most important part of the [[National Museum System of Nouvelle Alexandrie|National Museum System]]. Aside from forming a vital part of the cultural and artistic heart of the nation, the complex is also at the forefront in research, preservation, and education.

== History ==
The origins of the National Museum Complex lie in the designs of the Entertainment District, part of the [[Cárdenas Plan]], which was a sweeping development programmed to create a new national capital for [[Nouvelle Alexandrie]]. Among these designs was the establishment of a unified museum zone that would concentrate and reflect the intellectual and artistic aspirations of the nation. Construction began in {{AN year|1690}}, with three simultaneous buildings being erected around a new public square, known as Plaza de los Museos. Its main architects were Armand Villeneuve, Isidro Montoro, and Emilia de la Vega. The buildings were constructed with neoclassical elements, such as large colonnades and ornamental façades sculptured by Henri-Claude Fernoir. The complex was officially inaugurated by [[King of Nouvelle Alexandrie|King]] [[Manco Cápac|Manco Cápac I]] in {{AN year|1694}}, at the head of a large delegation including [[President of the Government of Nouvelle Alexandrie|President]] [[Alejandro Campos]]; and leading cultural figures.

In {{AN year|1708}}, the National Portrait Gallery was added to create a new museum dedicated to founders and leading figures in [[Nouvelle Alexandrie]]. To relieve the administrative needs of the burgeoning collection, the '''Museum Administrative Building''' was constructed in {{AN year|1722}}, with a major research center added in {{AN year|1726}}.

== Museums ==

=== Museum of Science and Technology ===
The '''Museum of Science and Technology''' is dedicated to the exploration and advancement of scientific knowledge in [[Nouvelle Alexandrie]]. Its permanent collections feature exhibits of Alexandrian and international inventions, interactive exhibits on physics, chemistry, and biology, and a specific wing for maritime and industrial innovation. The building was constructed in a cruciform design, dominated by acentral glass-and-steel-dome. The eastern wing is devoted to the Hall of Inventions, showcasing technology and inventions of Alexandrian and international inventors. One major exhibit showcases original an original steam engine from [[Wechua Nation|Wechua]], built in {{AN year|1402}}. The western wing hosts the Natural Sciences Hall, with immersive exhibits on biology, chemistry, and geology, including archaeological discoveries from [[Santander]]. The northern galleries focuses on maritime and industrial innovation, highlighting shipbuilding, early railway engines, aerospace technology, and manufacturing; with the great showstopper being a model of the [[Javelin Sojourner]], the first domestic-produced widebody airliner in [[Nouvelle Alexandrie]].

Above the public floors are active research laboratories, dedicated to research and preservation, which support both the museum's collections and collaborative scientific studies. A small part of it, above the Hall of Inventions, is open as a visitors centre for the purpose of scientific education and international collaboration.

=== National Museum of New Alexandrian History ===
The '''National Museum of New Alexandrian History''', often known as simply the '''National History Museum,''' is dedicated to the showcasing, study, and education of the national history of [[Nouvelle Alexandrie]]. It consists of a large neoclassical building, surrounding a monumental atrium crowned ith a stained-glass dome. A series of nine dedicated Halls of Pre-Federation History depict the collective history of [[Wechua Nation]], [[Alduria]], [[Lyrica]], and [[Santander]], as well as the other [[Administrative divisions of Nouvelle Alexandrie|regions]] of [[Nouvelle Alexandrie]].

Special exhibitions frequently introduce new commissions of both contemporary and historic gifures, ensuring the gallery evolves continuously.
