Many materials were used in the construction of the Oriental-Mindoro Heritage Museum, and the

engineers and architects in charge of this museum used both classic and modern designs. The "MAHAL
TANA" theme inspired this museum feature, which highlights the iconic symbols of Oriental Mindoro:
Mangyan, Halcon, Tamaraw, and Naujan Lake. The most interesting designs on the wall of this museum
are the tamaraw heads, which are very appealing to look at because they are perfectly positioned. The
other is the Pakudos symbol, which is distinguished by symmetrical, aesthetic, and orderly use of lines
and space, as well as equal use of vertical and horizontal composition. The museum's exterior design
was very detailed because it is not just a plain wall, but the design that was used in the wall has a
pattern, and the texture of it is rough because, from what I saw, it was brick stone. The color scheme
used in the exterior designs is simple and pleasing to the eye. It takes time to do the exterior floor
design, which is also brick and stone, but it looks good, and I like the alignment of it. Next is the design
of the ceiling, wall, stairs, and door of the exterior entrance of the museum. The wavy design of the
ceiling, paired with the brown bricks and rough texture of the stone on the wall, the curved door, and
the stairs, are all very detailed. Simply by looking at it, you can tell it is a modern design. When you open
the door, the interior design becomes more aesthetic, appearing classy and expensive. They also did not
remove the stone wall, implying that it was previously part of the Cal-kuta wall. Because they used stone
as the wall, this stone wall design looks like a cave wall. It has a rough texture and a dull appearance.
While the center of the museum has a very minimalist ceiling, it also has a high ceiling because it has a
second floor. The ceiling on the first floor has partitions, and it is similar to the ceiling on the exterior,
but it is not wavy; it is simply a straight line. They used a pendant light that formed a circle in the high
ceiling, and the wall behind the mount halcon is very detailed; you can see the pattern and the
alignment of the shapes, as well as the curved lines on the side of it. On the second floor, the stair
handrail design was a Pakudos symbol, which was designed by Hanunuo Mangyan. The second-floor wall
is the same as the first-floor wall, which is plain but looks glossy due to the lighting. The ceiling design on
the second floor is similar to the first floor, but it has a distance, unlike those on the first floor. Lastly is
the balcony, which also serves as the way to the front gate, and the design of it is similar to a Cal-kuta
wall.

Overall, the museum appears to be very expensive and classy because the lines, shapes, colors, and
textures all work together. Because the architects of this project balanced it, it is clear what theme they
used in the museum. The color scheme used in the museum's interior made it look like a mansion with a
modern design. The colors improved the overall appearance. The patterns on the wall are also appealing
because they are properly aligned and the sizes of the designs are proportionate to the colors. That's
why, when you walk into the museum, you feel at ease; it's very comfortable, and everything is fresh in
your eyes. Some of the designs used by the architect in the exterior and interior of the museum, as we
noticed, are related to the history of Oriental Mindoro. That is why, even if it looks like a mansion, it will
be recognized as a museum due to the designs and patterns used to attract visitors' attention.
