National Monuments Administration

The National Monuments Administration (NMA) is a Maustanian government organization under the MCS tasked with overseeing the administration of Costa Maustan's national monuments.

In Costa Maustan, national monuments can consist of buildings, structures and other man-made constructions, or natural-historic sites that are considered important to the country. All monuments are administered by the Ministry of Culture and Sports via this organization.

It is a member of Archangel Confederation sister organizations group.

History
The preservation of state-owned property became an increasingly important issue from the late 19th century on. The first big move towards conservation was the creation of the National Buildings Trust in 1914 to administer state property. After 1918, its focus was directed towards heritage buildings. In 1920, it was renamed National Monuments Trust and Brunants Markthall was designated the first National Monument that year.

In 1977, the Poelkapelle Monument in Belgium became the first national monument that is not located on Brunanter territory.

To date, there are over 100 monuments, including buildings, monuments, structures, ruins and other sites.

The National Monument Trust is the government's principal advisory body on all matters pertaining to the national heritage and history. The NMT is responsible for:
 * Directly managing the national collection of sites and monuments in Brunant
 * Handing out grants towards to the protection and conservation of monuments under private ownership
 * Advising the government on policy towards monument conservation and addition to the trust
