BenCab Museum in Baguio

We came in during the rainy season,so theres not much people around. The place was nice as expected and theres a lot of scenic areas in the garden for selfies and photos. You can also reach the place thru commute jeepney even if you dont have your own car.

Love the curation of Filipino modern art in different mediums. They have other experiences as well; outdoor nipa hut on the lake and the cafe.Would be better if the front desk lady wasnt rude if you dont have smaller bills.. Also much better if they have gcash payment if they cant give you the change right away.

Must see when in Baguio for those in the art scene. They also have good cafe restaurant. Allocate a full day to tour the place and enjoy the experience the artist has brought to his guests.

I will NOT go back again. The customer service ruins my experience with the art museum. The personnelles do not  know how to greet us back. They dont know how to say simple thank you nor welcome and they are annoyed when being approached. Some of the guest are unruly, kids running around like its a park, people talking too loud and will crowd you when you walk - no staff close by there to maintain the "museum" atmosphere. The comfort room is squalid. Knowing that the guests pay here, the floor is muddy and the toilets have no flush. Also, you taking video is not allowed. You may want to check their facebook reviews too. Better go to National Museum in Manila.

A trip to Baguio will never be complete without going to this museum. I get that most of the artwork on display are still the same year-in, year-out, save for a gallery that’s being updated based on who’s exhibiting. But the sheer pull of BenCab himself, as well as the art he made of the place, with the museum building and then the garden and the ponds, and even the cafe, makes a pilgrimage to it worth it every time.

This place is awesome. The main highlight of my Baguio trip. It features tributes to the work and life of the National Artist Benedicto Cabrera as well as highlights the history of his art. Also displayed are relics from the natives of the area.You can spend hours immersed in it all and afterwards relax and recharge at the cafe and garden at the lower deck. A bit pricey but of course taking it all in with the view makes every bite worth it. Had pares, bulalo, and basil pasta. Will definitely come back the next time we visit Baguio.

Good place as it is. Videos and cameras with flash are not allowed. 😁

A go-to place whenever I’m in Baguio. Located at Asin Road. Just took jeepney from terminal near Burnham Park then the jeepney will stop at the Asin Terminal, few minutes walk to BenCab Museum. Entrance fee is around P150 (adult price). A good way to immerse on art and culture of Baguio. There’s a variety of painting and sculptures. At the ground floor, we dine in at Cafe Sabel - overlooking the garden, pond and mountain view.

Amazing museum on the outskirts of Baguio City. Extensive collection of beautiful cultural artifacts. The view cannot be understated as well. 10/10, would recommend.

Interesting collection. I did really like some of the paintings. The view outside is also beautiful. There is a cafe at the lowest floor, will definitely try it next time.

The place is amazing, except its not PWD-friendly. There are no ramps, only stairs. The artworks are lovely! We got to eat in the restaurant and the food is so delicious, but pricey. The view is so relaxing as well

Very nice museum. I enjoyed seeing arts plus a good view of a hill and trees in one of the veranda of the museum. If youre already hungry, you can order a snack at their Cafe Isabel located at the ground floor of the building.

Really glad to have finally visited this place. I wouldnt wonder why sir Ben Cabrera is a National Artist. His works are magnificent and his taste on art is impeccable. Really glad the place has expanded so you get to enjoy and appreciate different types and media of art. Totally worth the time and effort.

Its always been a good experience going to Bencab, though its general admission fee is a bit high. Generally, its expensive going there since you got to take a cab to and fro the city. Its worth it on a good day, but not on a rainy day. You cant enjoy the garden if you want to.The artworks are awesome, but theres nothing new. I hope there will be more new pieces to see.CafeSabel is nice, except for the prices of food and beverages. But of course, youve got no choice when youre thirsty!

Location: 🌟🌟🌟 Quite far from the city. We rode a taxi in going here, but I noticed some jeeps will take the passengers directly in front of the museum.Going out of the area is a different story though. When the jeep passes by the museum, its already full and not many taxis pass by due to the location. We had to walk maybe a kilometer just to look for a taxi that will take us back to the city (Im not complaining though because we were able to enjoy some carved wood stuff that the neighboring shops sold).Price: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Entrance fee is okay considering it is one of the most beautiful museums I have visited.Museuem itself: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 the way they organized the artworks is what amazes me. From the Igorot artworks to modern artworks, all were so beautiful. It will leave you in awe.The musuem is situated on the mountains and the view is mesmerizing.I will definitely be back with with my family once more.Overall rating: 4.5 out of 5

Not so crowded, 150 entrance regular, nice artwork

We bought an entrance ticket for 150pesos each. If you are fond of paintings, you can enjoy this place. If you want to eat in the restaurant inside the museum, make sure to bring enough money because 1 meal cost around 200pesos. When I asked the cashier how much is the bottled water, she didnt answer me. Thats why I gave 4 stars😅 By the way, the bottled water cost 60pesos each😁

The place is so beautiful with all the artworks. A must visit for Baguio City visitora.

Wonderful works of art are displayed all over the museum. If youre planning to bring your kids, you might not enjoy the museum that much. Dont hesitate to avail of the eco trail to maximize your visit.

Lots of different types of art to look and admire at, with a spectacular nature view.

The Museum was great BUT the cafe has a long way to go to be, at least, ok.The surrounding area is exceptional. I will keep going back to that cafe as their Ceasars salad was wilted and had soggy croutons (so soggy that it felt it was left out for a few hours or so). Upon complaining with Mike, the supposedly manager, he just smiled and said sorry like it was just to brush me away. Insulting and very improperly impolite to just accept how bad his product was.That experience was enough to upset my whole itenerary of leisurely taking in the grounds and the art.Disappointed here.

Amazing view for picture taking around the edge of the mountain. Lots of beautiful art to look at and ponder. Reasonable price of 150 pesos per person as this review is made. $3.50 CAD. Spent a couple hours there including eating at the Cafe. I had the fish and it was tasty. Theres 4 floors included with various art and a little pond with ducks outside.

If you are into art or just want to take artsy or hashtag cultured photos. You must visit Bencab! For only 150pesos you can enjoy various paintings from BenCab himself and other local artists.After touring around the museum and immersing yourself in art. You can take a seat on their café and order a food. The food tastes so good!! Actually, no restaurant or cafe failed me in Baguio!

There are a variety of artworks shown for everyones enjoyment. From historical pieces to contemporary artists that has a unique perspective to an eco-trail (not available as of June 14, 2022), this is a great family-friendly destination!

Nice collection and awesome view at the mountain with ponds with koi fish and ducks

Nice place to go to.... Nice pieces on display.... View is good.... Took so much photos with my besties.... The staff members are super helpful if you have questions about the art pieces and also helpful in helping us take nice selfies. 🥰🥰🥰

Love this place... The whole place showcases Baguios heart of art. We enjoyed our afternoon coffee drinks here. Relaxing views because its far from the city proper.We find a hard time finding transpo going back to the city proper at around 5:30pm. Its not accessible by Grab and only few taxi were passing by. You can ride a jeepney back to the city.This is a must go places in baguio...

First time here and I love it. A bit far from the city center. I wish we went there a bit earlier.

Excellent lay out with a good, varied collection of art work. Not a very big museum which makes it manageable.Nice cafe on site and also well presented garden area for a short stroll.If youre lucky youll be able to meet the maestro himself who is always willing to spend a few minutes with you and have a photo with you. A real gentleman.Well worth a visit if youre in Baguio.

Very creative artist BenCab. Various works of Art depicting peoples life and culture. Ohhh I love the pond, the garden and nature around. Must see while in town

Great artworks, great views.There’s a Cafe at the first floor (Cafe Sabelwith a great view of their pond and mountain ranges with lushes of greens.

It’s an honor to have visited a national artist’s museum.

Love the place. The museum and the outdoor. Saw other pieces aside from BenCab. They have a cafe and a souvenir place. Love how they categorically arranged the pieces.

Lovely museum in stunning grounds, definitely worth visiting if youre in Baguio. All of the art on display, by local artists, is excellent and the space itself is very nice. 150 entrance per adult.There is a cafe on the ground floor and a koi pond and seating area outside. The grounds of the property are huge and very beautiful - you can do an eco tour for an extra 150 per person to explore the grounds.

This place is very relaxing! Mr. Cabrera have paintings made by Ang Kiukok in his personal collection. Just wow! I love every corner of this museum and I hope I can purchase one of his paintings soon!

BenCab Museum is a great place especially for art lovers like me. It houses several galleries of different artists and exhibits and a nice place for venue shows. It also has a nice café and beautiful farm and garden below the premises.• Parking Space: Ample• Staff: Super Friendly and Nice• General Admission: ₱150They are open Tuesdays to Sundays at 9AM to 6PM. Last entry for the museum is at 5:30 PM.PS: Make sure not to touch the artworks! 🙂

nice place to visit when in baguio. the property is located outside the busy streets of the city. offers great views and good food of course the paintings and fine arts collections of the owner. could have been better if the place had elevator for seniors and pwds

Adequate parking. Friendly staff. Php 150 entrance fee. Discounts available for students and senior citizens. Paintings and sculptures from renowned and upcoming artists. There is a cafe with a great view. Must see when in Baguio.

Great place for art. Has a cafe inside as well plus the koi pond. Saw that there is debit card/credit card option on the store as well. Quite far but the trip is worth it. P25 via jeepney from Burnham Park

Much more than a showcase of the artists work and his collection of artifacts from the region. Its a sanctuary and nature park that visitors to Baguio should not miss.

Good for the artsy. Good for the gram! 📷 Good food at Cafe Sabel! A bit pricy but worth it! Try their baby back ribs & volcano ice cream for the dessert. 🍦

I love arts.. so I enjoyed my visit here even though there was no tour guide but I enjoyed my tour by myself. Beautiful scenery…

Definitely a must see in Baguio.Sharing some photos, but the real artworks are much more awe inspiring.It’s 4 floors below with a coffee shop at the bottom. If the skies are clear, there’s a scenic view to match the coffee.The tour is arranged so that you get through all the artworks and talk about it after with coffee.There are feature artists from time to time so there’s reason to come back and appreciate new art.

Im a lover of art so this place is very close to my heart. The place is spacious and very ideal for long-staring contest with the pieces that adorned the walls of the place. I love that it has an outdoor garden as well as a Koi pond.

we go here not only for the artworks but mostly for the coffee shop at the basement of the museum. nice and relaxing view of the garden and ponds. pretty good food selections also.

Well, this place is a must see spot when you are exploring Baguio specially when you do love artworks. They also have a cafe for a small bite and some refreshers. You may also be amaze with the scenery and calmness of the landscape.

As a Baguio Resident, I can confidently say that this place is a must if youre visiting Baguio City. Just around 30mins or less from the city center you could enjoy this superb place full of solid beautiful local art and the museum itself gives a world class vibe. It also has a cafe inside, no need to worry if you get hungry specially that you need energy and time to fully explore the area. An eco park is also located inside the premises where in an eco trail tour is also available upon request (tour inside are also available). This place is truly worth the visit, staff are very accommodating too. A gem near Baguio. . . fascinating 👍

The place is really a gem. Great contemporary local art and indigenous craft.For art lovers a must visit, some interesting works by Filipino artists covering many different styles.Showcasing beautiful and amazing art pieces. Also, the outdoor landscape is so beautiful...

This is a must visit place. There are a lot of art works to see. They have different collections - paintings, sculptures, etc. There is also a small resto and their food is delicious and tasty. You can also enjoy the scenic place and take lots of photos except for some restricted areas in the museum.

The location of this art museum is quite far from the city but it’s still worth the long drive. Not just for art lovers but also for people who appreciate nature or both. Entrance fees are paid at the reception area. They have several sections of paintings and sculptures showcasing local talents. BenCab has several nice masterpieces in oil and canvas. It has a coffee shop inside the museum. You can also have a guided tour along the trails for those who’re nature lovers. Very nice location for a museum.
