Ben Cab Museum - the contemporary museum that depicts the variety of Art. It's a four story building that comprises different sections of Ben Cabrera's collection, including a cafe , a lake and a garden.

The Erotica Gallery

Bencab is derived from the name of the national artist himself, Ben Cabrera. His museum greatly exhibits his art works and some of the Baguio- Ifugao and Cordilleran sculpture gallery. The most talked section in the museum is the Erotica gallery. It vividly displays the variety of positions of intimate connection of individuals through the sculptured wooden images.Some people may find it unusual to exhibit the art of human anatomy but our human body is a grand example of art to its finest.

And here are my favorite BenCab works:

It was for me a great experience being able to visit one of the awesome place in Baguio. It does not disconnect the spirit and the comfort of the place as it reminds you that the museum was indeed a diorama of what Baguio is. It gives you everything. It shows you more of what Baguio has...from the wooden sculpture, the paintings that shows Igorot's history and livelihood to the flowers in the garden, the smell of the pine trees and the strawberries in the fields.
