SLU Museum of Igorot Cultures & Arts
About This Museum
Tucked away on the Saint Louis University campus in the heart of Baguio, this museum is a quiet treasure. I was completely drawn in by the intricate hand-woven textiles, each pattern telling a story you won't find in history books. Seeing the traditional wooden bulul (rice god) figures up close felt incredibly grounding. Itβs a powerful and personal look into the living cultures of the Cordillera.
Collection Highlights
You'll find stunning woven blankets and garments, ceremonial baskets, and a fascinating array of wooden bulul statues used in rice rituals.
