The Great Perhaps Found in Bencab Museum

Instagram Post Bencab Museum

Art is the product of our imagination and expression. It is not defined by how well it is presented nor how people will react upon it but a representation of our emotions.

Art has many definitions. This can vary from person to another as to their backgrounds and beliefs. That is at least my interpretation of what is Art.

While I was in Baguio, I noticed the interiors of the restaurants, the concept of the coffee shops that can be an addiction, the pampering temperature and the ambiance of the foggy green mountains that pours peace and comfort. If you found out that the imaginary line of your life's axis is just a stupid imaginary path, then maybe the enlightenment you're looking for can be uncovered in Baguio. It's a place where you can think and focus. Which gives me an impression that this place is a haven for artists. I imagine tons of artists who chose to move and live there. These artists responsible for these coffee shops architecture, book shop named after a mountain and a cloud (Cute Cloudy Bookshop in Baguio City) and a museum on the mountain top. Yes, Bencab Museum.

I am not a gallery goer. Really. But I heard good things about this place and my mind people says I shouldn't miss the opportunity to visit the place.

Allow me to share these pictures as a proof of how I found one of my considered "great perhaps" in Baguio.

This was one of my favorite gallery. I love the native backpacks.

This picture always makes me miss Baguio.

Here comes the fog. I really enjoyed seeing it approached us. My first time to see a fog like this. It's like a  paradise made for production I only see in movies.

From paintings, sculptures, and mixed media pieces, the artists freedom in expressing art is evident. The architecture of the area and the idea of putting up a gallery on that very place is genius. Bencab museum made me realize many things. One that I wanted to share is... go out and open your eyes to the things that deserves your attention.
