State Museum - Museum in Itanagar - Papum Pare, India

Superb place to know about the tribes of Arunachal. Only downside is that the maintenance is not good enough as several displays could not be seen due to malfunctioning lights. It also has a North-east gallery and a good library

We had been planning for the past few days that we should go somewhere at the coming weekend and we were pretty confused about going where. Then we were looking at the maps and searching for which place might be good for spending time. Finally, this is the place we choose to go. The proper name of this place is Jawaharlal Nehru State Museum. The man at the reception asked us to pay the money for the ticket. Then we asked if there were any concessions for students. Then he told us it was there but we'd have to show our ID cards as proof of being a student. After that, we showed them our IDs and got our tickets and went inside. On the ground floor, the whole section displays the different tribes living in Arunachal Pradesh. It also displayed the various crafts, ornaments, weapons and even utensils of different tribes. It was truly amazing as we were able to know so much we were unaware of. Then we proceeded to the upstairs where there was the gallery showing the archeological sites that are spread across the state, then there was the section where the mountaineers climbed the mountain peaks and made it into the pages of history. There was also a section showing the fabrics and attires of the different tribes as well as a gallery showing the paintings and motifs of the Twang Monastery. Later on, we moved to another extension of the building where there was a whole displaying the culture and heritage of the North-eastern States in India. After spending some time there, we decided to make our way out and started walking to the exit. The caretaker of the museum was so nice that when we were about to get out he enquired whether we explored the whole premise or missed anything on the way. He also told us if we hadn't seen anything then he could keep the doors open for sometime more as it was near the closing time. Fortunately, we saw the whole place. As we bid goodbye to the museum, we started our way to our place. Therefore, it was worth the time we spent there in the museum for a whole day.

It's one of the most Organized Museum in India .. Wonderful experience, It's elaborate all districts with their traditional accounts, customs, cultures, Museum lovers do must have to visit ! (But some of the dirty mide people spits a pan masala in wall corner.
