In a groundbreaking collaboration, LG Philippines and National Artist for Visual Arts Benedicto “BenCab” Reyes Cabrera have joined forces to bring advanced OLED technology to the BenCab Museum in Tuba, Benguet.

Perstaym ko sa BenCab Museum

Maraming paghuhugutan ang post na to. After namin magpakalasing sa tapuy sa Cafe Yagam, maaga dapat gumising kinabukasan para sa actual tour. First stop, mag-Tadhana Trail tayo! Napanood nyo naman ang That Thing Called Tadhana diba? Since nasa #BaguioCity kana, simulan mo na ang mga ka-emoterahan ni Mace at Anthony.

From Azalea Residences, medyo malayo sya. Mga 30-40mins drive hanggang BenCab Museum at sa loob pa ata sya ng isang subdivision. At mas kalmado na ang buhay-Baguio kase nakakapag-overlooking ka na. Tho dumadami yung mga residential area sa gilid ng bundok, buti at may nakikita ka pang green. Sana mas maraming green. Nageenjoy ka din sa mga makikita mo lalo na yung mga wood shop. Iba ibang wood carvings at sculpture na halos life-size na tulad nito:

Sa loob ng BenCab Museum, siyempre maraming art. Ilan dun gawa ni National Artist for Visual Arts BenCab (Benedicto Cabrera) at pati ng iba pang artists from all over the Philippines. Entrance kung di ako nagkakamali ay Php 100. Buong museum na maiikot mo dun kaya gora ka na next Baguio visit mo.

Unang malaking painting ni BenCab ay si Sabel. Inspired sya sa isang taong grasa sa Sampaloc, Manila at pininta sya ni BenCab sa mga tiles. Nandun pa rin yun hanggang ngayon at isa sa mga sikat na artwork nya.

Hinanap ko yung gallery sa Tadhana pero wala na yung painting dun. Pero may ibang  mga galleries na mage-enjoy kayong tignan.

Tulad nitong Erotica gallery na sobrang natagalan ang mga babaeng ito na "mag-appreciate ng art"

Sa Ode to the Flag gallery, running until August 2015 only.

Meron ding mga antique collections ng mga  furnitures at mga anito na sinasamba ng mga Igorot para sa masaganang ani at kung ano ano pang dahilan. Ginagamit din nila yun kapag may iaalay sa mga diyos nila.

Ang mga anito at iaalay na birhen. LOL

Pagkatapos ng tour mo sa loob ng Museum e pwede kang kumain sa Cafe Sabel. Inspired pa rin ni Sabel, na by the way patay na many years ago, dito naman pinapakita ni BenCab kung saan saan na sya nakapunta. Dun sya sa pinakababa ng museum.

Sa labas ng museum, may malaking garden na may maliit na farm at pond. Sa di kalayuan makikita mo rin ang bahay ni BenCab kung saan nya ginagawa ang mga masterpieces nya. Sayang wala sya dun para nakilala din namin sya.

Bahay ni BenCab sa likod ko.

Para ituloy ang tour, isa rin sa mga ginagawa ng mga Igorot ay maghabi ng mga balabal at kumot. Click here.

Perstaym ka bang makakakuha ng updates ko?
