BenCab Museum| Arts and Nature Combined

If you had been to Baguio City and Benguet Province for a tour, you should also find time to visit this place- BenCab Museum. BenCab Museum was established in 2009 by Ben Cabrera in his mountain home in Km. 6, Nangalisan, Tuba, Benguet Province, just a few minutes drive from the Central Business District of Baguio City. 

The museum houses personal collections of tribal art from the Cordillera Highlands, as well as contemporary Philippine Art and Ethnography. It is set in the midst of an organic farm with natural water, highlighting the indigenous architecture of Ifugao, Bontoc, and Kalinga.

After viewing what is inside the galleries leads you to the lower floor of the museum and if you're a fan of coffee like me, then there it is for you. 

Overlooking the museum is a beautiful landscape consisting of three ponds with fishes in them. I also greatly appreciate the flowing waters filling the cascaded ponds. I like the sounds they create, getting close experience to the reality of being lost in the midst of nature. You may also tour around with the help of a guide, to add more. The museum is open all-day except on Mondays.
