Banaue Museum
A private museum in the town center displaying Ifugao clothing, bulul rice god figures, ritual objects and early ethnographic photographs.
Banaue Museum is located in the town center, near Banaue Hotel. Its collection is based on items once owned by the family of American anthropologist H. Otley Beyer. It displays traditional clothing and textiles from the Ifugao and other Cordillera peoples, weapons from the headhunting era, carved wooden rice gods called 'bulul', ritual implements, and early ethnographic photographs. It helps visitors understand the rice-growing beliefs behind the terraces. The museum is small and can be seen in about half an hour. Admission is modest, and opening hours are irregular, so ask at your hotel.
