Kabayan National Museum

This compact museum is a good introduction to this part of the Cordillera. Ask the friendly curator to explain the difference between traditional clothing of the rich and poor; show off a backpack used to carry pigs and a female mummy; explain local death rites; and point out the Kankanay and Ikalahan ritual artefacts and plants used in the mummification process.
