If you’re interested to know about the cultural heritage and history of Baguio City, you could ask the locals\u2014or you could go to Baguio Museum<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Baguio Museum stands for, upholds, and embodies the cultural and historical heritage of Baguio City. Inspired by Ifugao architecture, the museum is made of stone and wood featuring a striking pyramid roof and two huge concrete poles at the stair entrance that resembles a traditional Ifugao home with an elevated floor supported by posts.<\/p>\n

This time-honored museum was built in 1975 at the corner of Governor Pack Road and Harrison Road. It was hit by a major earthquake in 1990 but was rebuilt after a decade to continue its purpose.<\/p>\n

Baguio Museum houses various artifacts and educational clippings that let you learn about the history of Baguio and the lives of the different tribes in Cordillera.<\/p>\n

On the main floor (second floor of the building), you can find an extensive display of various tribal artifacts from the six provinces of the Cordillera region: Benguet, Kalinga, Apayao, Mountain Province, Abra, and Ifugao. Baguio is part of Benguet province.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There are also miniature dioramas that give you a better picture of their communities. Also on the main floor is a real-life mummy in its coffin, which visitors are not allowed to take a photo of in respect of the dead.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The third floor is dedicated to the history of Baguio City. It is where you can see and read in detail the discovery of Baguio as a land of pine trees and its development into a civilized land. You can’t help but be amazed (or shocked) at the three architectural models, one of which shows Baguio as an untouched green land, a stark contrast to its current state where the number of structures is fast catching up with the number of pine trees.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the first floor serves as a space for special exhibits and events, while the fourth floor is currently being renovated.<\/p>\n
