Baguio Mountain Provinces Museum

This museum is a great introduction to the Igorot ("mountain people") of the Cordillera and the harmful "savage highlander"/"cultured lowlander" divide, introduced by the Spanish. Each display focuses on an indigenous group, and you'll see spears, bolos (machetes) of Kalinga headhunters, accounts of Ibaloi mummification practices and a Kabayan mummy, and a compelling exhibition on the history of Baguio.
