Getting to know Baguio's history before exploring its famous tourist spots.

Baguio Museum is a place where you can learn about the cultural and historical heritage of Baguio City and the Cordillera region. The museum is located near the Lourdes Grotto and has a unique architecture that resembles a traditional Ifugao house. The museum has four floors, each with its own exhibits and displays.

On the first floor, you can see a collection of artifacts and dioramas that showcase the life and traditions of the different tribes in the Cordillera region, such as the Benguet, Kalinga, Apayao, Mountain Province, Abra, and Ifugao. You can also see a real-life mummy in its coffin, which is a sacred practice among some of the tribes.

On the second floor, you can see the history of Baguio City, from its discovery as a land of pine trees to its development as a summer capital and a tourist destination. You can also see some architectural models that show how Baguio changed over time, as well as some photos and clippings that document the events and personalities that shaped the city.

On the third floor, you can see some special exhibits and events that feature various aspects of the culture and arts of Baguio and the Cordillera region. You can also see some paintings and sculptures by local artists, as well as some souvenirs and products that you can buy.

On the fourth floor, you can see a panoramic view of the city and the mountains from the rooftop. You can also see some statues and monuments that honor the heroes and martyrs of Baguio and the Cordillera region.

Baguio Museum is a must-visit place for anyone who wants to know more about the rich and diverse culture and history of Baguio and the Cordillera region. The museum is open daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and the entrance fee is P50 for adults and P30 for students, PWDs and senior citizens. You can also find some hotels, restaurants, and shops near the museum, making it convenient for tourists.

Some hidden gems of Baguio history. If you don't rush you need an hour. It says on Google that closure is 6pm, but last admission is 5pm. There are a number of pre-history artifacts, but I appreciated the exhibit detailing the recapture of the City from Japan in WW2.

A good museum for those who want to learn more about this place. The staff is very polite, the girl gave a short tour and told in detail about the history of the exhibits. The museum occupies three floors, but the main part is on the first floor. Each stand has all the necessary information and you can familiarise yourself with it.
I recommend to visit

The museum is filled with significant history of the cordilleran people, including my heritage. Every corner of the museum is filled with interesting information. Artifacts, Weapons, and Dioramas depicting certain scenarios is well made and pleasant to look at. Every fact is correctly shown in posters and writings beside the exhibits. Overall, I would recommend visiting this museum if you have an interest in the history of the Cordillera Administrative Region.

The experience is very refreshing since I:m a tourist visiting Baguio for a day. You will learn a lot about the City's history and the tribes in the nearby areas. You will see how the city has evolved throughout the years.

However, there is an entrance fee which is a bit pricey {Php 100}. Considering that national museums should be free or has minimal fee.

If you decide to visit here, if you love history, you will enjoy it here.

Great place to better understand Baguio, it's people and its history.
Brought our daughter here as it was her first time in the philippines 🇵🇭, and felt it was important for her to have a better appreciation of her roots.

Baguio Museum should definitely be one of your stopovers to gain more cultural knowledge not only about Baguio but of entire Cordillera Region. The only floor that was open when we visited was the main floor as it was being renovated but it was still a great experience. The floor features exhibits of the different places in the region in dioramas as well as important artifacts. We also chanced upon a wood artist carving an artwork just right outside the museum which added to the experience.

It is an interesting place full of cultural history of the natives of Baguio. There are many interesting pieces which highlights ethno-practices, their weapons, houses, way of life and many interesting things. I am happy to experience such a wonderful fast track from the past and the lessons that it taught to the newer generation. I am very touch by their wonderful culture and the rich local life of the natives.

A great place to visit to know more about Baguio and indigenous people living here and nearby. Always awesome to know about their history, roots and culture. The place has plenty of arts to offer. You'll get a clear picture of their past and how they progress to present. There was plenty of foreign individual whom they respected as well. There's a shop inside where you can buy souvenirs too.

A great place for learning about mountain province cultural history, artifacts and traditional costumes. Learn also about the history of Baguio and see photos comparing then and now. They even have a mummy on display which was very impressive.

This is a 4-storey building. It contains a lot of artifacts from the the Mountain Province especially on the 2nd floor. Ground floor have some paintaings, 3rd floor is Baguio History and 4th floor is a mezzanine where you can read books and other periodicals.

So I visited the museum today. There is an entrance fee, they offer discount for students, and seniors.

It's a good place to know about local history. All the artifacts are displayed beautifully. You'll be shown a part of each of Cordillera province's culture and history. The place is child-friendly, date-friendly, tourist friendly, everybody-friendly.

I love history and arts...visiting this place made my day BIG! I had an indescribable feelings. I couldn't express it in words. Only an artist can relate to me.

Make sure to visit this place to appreciate Baguio even more.

Beautiful and informative collection. Well-maintained.

It is a small museum, with a roughly 15-30 mins experience/walkthrough. It was thoughtfully curated and put together. The first floor consists of a showcase of the various native groups and their culture, how they vary from each other which was very fascinating. The second floor is focused on Baguio's history, mostly focused on the Americans that impacted Baguio's growth. I do wish it had more history focused on the Filipinos that also had a hand in Baguio's beginning. The third floor was practically empty when we went.

A lot of cultural inheritance is housed here. So glad to have visited here

Wonderful place to learn about the history of the area, so much to see. Museum staff are very friendly and knowledgeable . Definitely a must see place for school children
