Photo Roll: BenCab Museum in Baguio

Aside from the cold weather all year round in the City of Pines, Baguio, it has also become a gastronomic destination. From a "nevermind Baguio" as a travel destination near Metro Manila, people have been trooping in, again, and partly to happily blame is the indie-movie That Thing Called Tadhana. This movie is a gem for its tourism, because aside from re-introducing the city to food-lovers in Filipino, it has also taught the same to appreciate art BenCab Museum. (In fact, when I went there to check the piece of art the movie lavishly gave attention to, found out that it was sold weeks after the movie was shown. Great!)

Foggy day at BenCab Museum!

BenCab Museum has a lot of similarities from Tagaytay's Museo Orlina (an amazing exhibit of glass sculptures.

Both of the museums are located in a cold and densely populated weekend warrior get-away.
Both have three (3) floors and the architecture is almost the same (glass sculptor Ramon Orlina is an architect, by the way).
They both have a garden to enjoy. In BenCab, it's huge garden is against the cold backdrop of the mountain. For Museo Orlina, its garden/ amphitheater enjoys the skies of Taal Volcano (but inside the floors, Taal Volcano is pretty much constant).
Art and coffee go by well. So they have their own brand of coffee shop. Cafe Sabel for BenCab; Green Coffee for MuseoOrlina.
Same rate at Php 100. Altho BenCab increased, I just don't know now for MuseoOrlina.
And they are the best of pals. In fact, in Museo Orlina, there's a 1974 Beetle painted by BenCab named "Sabel".
Any more similarities that I missed? Send us a comment :)

Here's a photo-roll of my BenCab museum. I really enjoyed staying there and appreciating BenCab's some-funny, some-erotica, some witty pieces of art. Of course, I wouldn't be posting too much. To see, in person, is to believe.
