| CAPTIVE CHRIST |
Along
Pariancillo St., in
Malolos, Bulacan, and right
across an ancestral house coverted ino a Meralco office, is another heritage
home of the
Tiongson Family, that has been repurposed into a Museum.
The Museum of the Incarnation was the
brainchild of Mr. Leo Cloma, a finance executive who is a native of Bulacan.
After securing the agreement of the Tiongsons, he proceeded to restore the
house and convert it into a museum where “the sacred is made real”.

| SAN PEDRO |
 |
| BUST OF CHRIST |
It houses some of the most stunning processional images
and other ecclesiastical art pieces displayed using old
mesa altars and antique
reproductions of
urnas, from his own commissioned collection, as well as
centuries-old images of noted
santero,
Francsico Vecin. There are also “retired”
images (those that are no longer processed) from Bulacan families.

| A DAY AT THE MUSEUM |

| A SANTA AND A TABLEAU |
The images in the specious museum house are most Semana
Santa images and tableaus—from Mater Dolorosa, the Tres Marias, to whole
Calvario scene, the kiss of Judas, and the Last Supper. But there are also non-
Holy Week images like the death of St. Joseph, the Nativity,and individual
images of santos like St. Joseph, Immaculate Conception and San Miguel.

| MATER DOLOROSA |
 |
| BETRAYAL OF JUDAS |
 |
| PACIENCIA |
The museum complements the other “museum house” of the
Reyes family which also contains collections of restored images as well as
stunning processional
carrozas.
