Eagle of the North
About This Museum
You'd never guess a museum this cool is tucked away along the La Union highway, but it's absolutely worth the stop. It feels less like a formal institution and more like walking into a treasure chest of Northern Luzon's soul. The sheer variety of things to see, from ancient pottery shards to vibrant handwoven textiles, tells a story that's both deep and wildly colorful. Honestly, I spent way longer there than I planned, just soaking it all in.
Collection Highlights
The real showstoppers are the intricate tribal jewelry and the stunning collection of mid-20th century photographs that capture everyday life. Don't miss the room dedicated to traditional Ilocano weavingβseeing those massive wooden looms up close is mesmerizing.
Visitor Information
It's right on the Aspiras Highway in Agoo, super easy to spot. Just pull over; there's no fussy ticketing process, and the staff are incredibly friendly and know their stuff.
Architecture & Building
The building itself is this striking, modern take on a traditional Ilocano barn, with a soaring roof and lots of warm, natural wood that makes it stand out.
