A brilliant gallery set in the woods outside Baguio. Excellent collection of indigenous artworks as well as a comprehensive look at Ben Cabrera's later work. More

I have been to museums in Europe and I am proud that we have a museum like this here in the Philippines besides the fact that I like his paintings, I also love that his museum is located in... More

Good well-designed modern building in a beautiful setting. Exhibits were of an excellent standard. We were given a free guided tour by a young lady who was a tourism student on a placement. She did help to explain the museum and its contents, as signage was limited, although she admitted not knowing detailed background when we enquired further. Exhibits included... More

A visit to the BenCab museum is more than a tribute to Filipino art. It is a tribute to Cordillera heritage and history. Great Filipino artists' work are also featured in one ofnthe galleries. Truly an art lover's destination. It is worth a visit or more! More

The museum is far from the city. It takes up two mountain sides with a small creek in the middle. The museum is very modern and houses the collection of the artist/owner Ben Cabb and selected local artists. Since it is on a mountain side, you have to walk up and down a lot of stairs. The garden is fantastic.... More

Curiosity-driven explorers as we are, with just a generic interest in the content of the BenCab museum, we visited this museum, paid the 100 Pesos entrance fee without asking any art related questions. We are just expecting to find something that will grab our attention – you know just to kill time. However, the museum proved to be a haven... More
