The largest museum in Marikina City and the first of its kind in Asia, the museum houses an extensive collection of local, global artifacts and limitedโ€‘edition books and published materials from over 200 countries and islands. Dominador Buhain's adventures along with the 248 countries and islands he's visited. The museum has six sections, two of which are the most important one, the Book Museum and the Ethnology Museum. The Ethnology Museum highlights well-preserved, precious artifacts from the gentle folks of the Cordillera Region, the similar pioneering culture that built the Banaue Rice terraces. Other than those from the Cordilleras, some hailstones from the islands of Mindanao. Buhain's collection of Books,magazines,diaries and other peculiar books such as one of the smallest book in the world-it's the size of a thumbnail (3.3x3.3 mm) and you'd have to grab a special magnifying glass to read its contents. In the heart of the museum lies a gigantic sculpture of the owner's foot, a representation of his traveling lifestyle. The foot sculpture also fits faultlessly with the shoe-themed City of Marikina. The museum accepts guests during the following schedule:
โ€ขTuesday-Friday 9:00 AM-11:00 AM, 1:00 PM-4:00 PM
โ€ขSaturday-Sunday and Holidays (By reservation 2 days prior to visit)

The Golden Age of Comics in the 1930sโ€“1940s introduced iconic superheroes such as Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. ๐Ÿฆธโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿฆธโ€โ™€๏ธ

Over the years, comics expanded into many genres, including adventure, humor, science fiction, manga, and graphic novels. Today, comics are more than just entertainment. They preserve history, reflect society, inspire creativity, and bring stories to life through the powerful combination of words and images. ๐Ÿ“–๐ŸŽจ

These grave markers, shaped as ph***ic symbols, are reserved for deceased males. The artifacts are estimated to be approximately 200-300 years old, as the carving of coral stone declined sharply during the twentieth century, primarily due to the breakdown in the transmission of knowledge within the community.

Aesthetically, the tiered, angular forms with incised decorations embody indigenous artistic traditions, particularly through the use of inverted crescent motifs and stylized vegetal patterns that symbolize life and paradise.๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ“š
