This museum gives a modest representation of Arunachal Pradesh’s tribal cultures particularly their crafts, costumes, adornments, and tools with two spacious floors of well-displayed exhibitions. The museum has become one of the most important tourist destinations over time. Altering the central Museum of the Government of Shillong, this museum was set up on 15 January 1990. For forty-six years, except for the Assam State Museum in this part of the country, Arunachal Pradesh is the only state having a Museum in India. Now, this museum is renowned as one of the best ethnographic and archeological museums in the state capital.
In the museum, the ground floor has an extensive ethnographic collection of art, religious objects, musical instruments, and handicrafts, like wood carving and cane products. The first floor is provided with archaeological objects found in Ita Fort, Nok Parbat, and Malinithan in the Lower Siang district. Along with its compilation, the museum also runs a workshop for traditional cane products at its Handicrafts Centre.
