History

Mabini Shrine is a memorial shrine in Tanauan, Batangas dedicated to Apolinario Mabini. It was designed by Juan Nakpil, one of the National Artists for architecture in the Philippines.

The shrine hosts a historical marker that the Philippines Historical Committee, now the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP), installed in 1939 to denote the place where Mabini was born. A replica of the hut where Mabini was born can be seen in the shrine.

In addition, the shrine has a museum built in 1956, which the NHCP renovated in 2014. The museum's facilities now include an audio-visual room, a stereoscopy room, push-button exhibits, and a hologram display of Mabini.
