The 1911 Rizal Monument Marker, located at the Negros Museum, was originally attached to a monument in front of Rizal Elementary School in Bacolod City. Made from hardwood, it features engraved names of key political figures involved in the monument’s construction, along with decorative carvings of ferns, flowers, and ribbons. The item, 113 years old, has suffered discoloration, surface damage, holes, and missing parts due to age and exposure. The marker was discovered in an antique shop and donated to the museum in the late 1990s. Although no major restoration has been done, museum staff continue to monitor and protect it from pests and environmental damage.
