About
The BenCab Museum, opened to the public on February 27, 2009, is a purpose-built modern museum on a misty hillside along Asin Road in Tuba, founded by National Artist Benedicto "BenCab" Cabrera to house his own masterpieces alongside Cordillera tribal art and the works of distinguished and emerging Filipino artists, promoting the arts and the cultural and ecological heritage of the northern mountains. Spread across four levels, it holds galleries including the BenCab Gallery, Cordillera Gallery, Sepia Gallery, Erotica Gallery, and Philippine Contemporary Art galleries, with viewing terraces and a Bulol installation. The bottom Farm and Garden level is a destination in itself: Cafe Sabel sits on a terrace overlooking a duck pond, an organic farm, and the mountains beyond — one of the most beautiful cafe settings in the Philippines, with a guided eco-trail winding through the property's mini-forest.
