BenCab Museum – Baguio

The BenCab Museum showcases works of national artist Benedicto Reyes Cabrera or “BenCab” as he is more popularly known. His works have been exhibited not only in the Philippines, but in Asia, Europe, and the United States. 

The museum also houses artworks of other established Filipino artists, as well as new artists. There is also a rich collection of indigenous and Cordillera art, and an Erotica Gallery!
