There are many specimens of butterflies and insects .
This museum is in the basement of one house . We had to ring the bell and there was no response, luckily one girl from neighbour hood came and opened the door and called the lady owner of the house who was not very proactive,she checked our phones collected fees without any receipt of payment and said Rs 10 for one shot . She was not very pleasant ,we were asked to put of lights from shabby basement.
Though the collection was good I wish the lady was more proactive and pleasant
They could have the door open and keep one receptionist and made museum in more professional way .
Just requires 20 min to go though museums.
A great place for general public and entegologists alike. Although small, has a good collection. This privately owned museum is maintained by Wankhar descendants. Great effort by the family..kudos to them. Not to miss spot in Shillong.

Good collection of butterflies, moths, beetles etc. But charges for every picture taken unreasonable,also attitude of person in charge to check photo album was most repulsive part of visit. Not worth visiting .
