Whether you are an art aficionado or just want to look at the culture of the Cordilleras, this is the place to go to. The place boasts of excellent artworks from national artist BenCab, and also from other local artists. The location is majestic, and the collections impeccable. The food at Cafe Sabel is great, and the beauty and majesty... More

The location itself of the place is so secluded form the city. Use maps and ask people if your going along the first time. However, upon reaching the museum, it as all worth it. The museum is well-planned and well-maintained. 100php is for the entrance fee, 80php for senior citizens. Artworks by several Filipino artists from different parts of the... More

I'm not an art person so will not comment about it except for one piece that make me wish I'm rich and can afford to buy it. Impressive garden and love the coffee and food at casa Isabel.

Bencab Museum, not only displays works of art of different paitners but also artifacts collection of our ancestors in Cordillera. The museum is well kept. Has a nice landscape at the back of the museum and with their Sabel Cafe, you can have delicious merienda and drinks. Have tried Cucumber cooler with mint leaves and strawberry shake, so refreshing.

The location was a bit far from the city & it would help to ask directions before u venture out to find it. BenCab is an artist I look up to and his work is always relevant to our Filipino way of life. I brought my son and my nephew with me to experience it. Aside from the art, the... More

I went to the BenCab museum out of curiosity after its good review in several travel sites. For me, it was a big disappointment. Aside from the very few art works of a few Filipino artists, which is all it has, there is not much to see. Skip this place and save yourself the hassle and P100.

We recently went to BenCab museum and really enjoyed our visit. The art throughout is high quality and the building and grounds are spectacular. A guide gave us a tour which was helpful and interesting. Overall, if you like art, a great place to visit.

Our visit to BenCab Museum was THE highlight of our trip to Baguio. I could spend a whole day there, viewing the art, taking in the fantastic view of nature while having a healthy lunch. I am definitely going back!
