I gather that this excellent, multi storey concrete and glass structure was constructed without government assistance by the artist. it is a very good smaller gallery with sections including many mixed media creations, Philippine masters and a little erotica. The Sabel cafe is within. There is a great lake outside. Souvenirs are pricey. Admittance is P100 for adults: if you... More

It was a nice clean museum, with a cafe at the back and a cute garden. good place to spend your spare 1-2 hours. you can take lots of pictures not just in the museum but the garden at the back.

This is something worth doing. BenCab was a creative, prolific artist and this collection, which includes his various forays into different styles and worlds of expression is a mini-tour of modern and traditional reflections on the Philippines. Some of it is beautiful, some very folkloric, some very modern and edgy, and there's some tasteful erotica discretely placed in a side... More

We had trouble looking for the place but when we got there it was all worth it. It is a must-do in Baguio. The facade of Bencab is unassuming but the inside is very rich with culture, arts and history. It has an entrance fee of PHP100 per person and PHP80 for students with ID. When touring the museum, better... More

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.

If you love arts and sculptures, this is a must see and you better visit the place of BenCab. There are so much to adore and the place is great. Beside the arts available to see, the atmosphere and the locations is great as it is surrounded by natures (trees, mountains, rivers, clouds and you can hear birds sings). They... More

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.
