Must visit place in Manipur. It has very beautiful collection of aquatic animals specimen. The art gallery is wonderful. Archeological gallery have good collection. One can easily spend 1-2hr there. Mobile and camera not allowed inside,so you cannot photograph inside.

Good content and exhibitis. Though not very big, a visit will tell you more about Manipur, its people and past. It isn't very crowded either and situated just beside the polo ground.

Overall experience was good, although it's not so huge. Got to learn many things about North eastern culture especially rich and vivid manipuri history and arts. Especially the early human cave is fascinating feature. Closing time is 5 pm in weekdays so please take more time to have a wonderful knowledgeable amusement

Though it is a state museum ,inside so much dirt is accumulated,and poor look of the exhibits with out lighting.we brought to the notice of authorities to make it convenient to the visitors

This state run museum is just two km away from Imphal Airport and near the pologround. Mobile and camera are not allowed so that photos of the interior is not available. It displays the rich cultural heritage of the tribes and kings in Manipur in ancient era.
