FILIPINOS are rich in culture and tradition. But will the future generation still remember them?
Practices, such as the “Bayanihan,” which describes a community coming together to help out those in need, and traditional Filipino dances and games are almost forgotten.
The Marikina government, however, has created doll museum to help Filpinos remember.
Working with world-renowned fashion designers Patis Tesoro and Guia Gomez, the local government has created 46 dioramas that highlight the history of Marikina and Filipino culture as well.
The Marikina dioramas that feature over 500 paper mache and resin dolls enclosed in glass.
Dolly Borlongan, the museum’s curator said that the museum is a “walkthrough” of the earliest traditions of the Filipinos to the industrialization and urbanization of the country.
"It is not bad that we grow as a nation along with modernization. But we should never forget how we started," she said.
The museum also offers a glimpse of how Filipinos’ values are molded through traditions.
The local government charges a minimal entrance fee of P25. For senior citizens and students of Marikina, it is free.
For P25 pesos, you will be able to take a glimpse of our past through these dioramas made by our very own world class talents.

The doll museum showcases the development of Marikina City from the Pre-Spanish era until the industrialized and disciplined city it is today by using dolls dressed and designed by the famous Filipino designer, Patis Tesoro. There are more than 500 Rolex Watches papier mache dolls contained in 48 different glass containers that depict different characteristics of Filipino culture and that of a Marikeno. Enriching cultural representations like harana, pamamanhikan, salu-salo, weddings, customary Filipino dances and games using dolls can be considered a good treat for people who just can’t get enough of the traditional picture storytelling.
I love what they are trying to do with the whole "preserving the past" thing, but let me just say what everyone is thinking . . .DOLLS ARE CREEPY. I'm a blue collar houston plumbing contractor, so it's probably no surprise that dolls are not my thing. But I would guess I am not the only one who thinks that dolls are creepy.(think horror movie here) Having said that, I really do wish them the best of luck with the museum. I can assure you though, that I will not be visiting there anytime soon.
This is so amazing to see. They have done such a great job with it. There is so much to see here.whistleblower policies and procedures
