A museum, which is enormous in size. It has display of types of huts/residential area of various tribes of India. They all are built by people/artists of that area. So also there are in door exhibitions. Highly educational but it is so big that you need a car to visit each and every area. The road signs are confusing, you feel as if trapped in some maze! The exhibits are accompanied with information boards (they are also in Braille! I wonder if any blind person will come to WATCH the exhibits!!) Guide are not available. It pours such a great amount of information, that after some time your brain fails to register and understand it, you will leave it after getting 🥱 bored!If you are a student of anthropology do visit it, if not, dont even think of entering it!!

Huts belonging to many tribes are well built on nice little hills. But paths between huts are not good, dont go with sandals, shoes are needed. Bike/bicycle is also needed. And it has 2 entrances/exits. 1 near boat club, another the opposite way.

One of Indias best museums which showcases human evolution in various parts of the country. Its a very well managed space. It has a number of large galleries displaying artifacts from the past. You can easily spend an entire day here. Along with indoor museum it also displays life size tribal houses from various parts of the country. There is a canteen and a museum artifact shop. And washrooms offcourse ☺.

I think MP tourism board has not promoted it well. I feel it deserves many more visitors. A must visit place in Bhopal, It is spread in a very huge area, if you have your own vehicle its good or you can hire an auto ricksaw which will charge some Rs 300 for complete trip with waiting time of 1-2 hours (please bargain well and set the expectation right with Auto guy) Enrty ticket is also there. Lots of things to see there. Amazing place.

Review №17

This part is Indoor Museum or Vithi Sankul. It contains 12 galleries and an auditorium. You need a full day to see it thoroughly and about 2-3 hours otherwise. There are several outdoor exhibits and sections as well and a person in hurry is likely to miss many jewels. This museum is certainly one of the best and worth visiting museums for those interested in anthropology of India, history, traditional art and paintings, musical instruments, etc. There is a very basic canteen, though not attached to Sankul, where you can get tea, biscuits and thali(plain rice, Dal, sabji and 4 puris-fried bread). Price of thali is just rs 30! There are two approach roads to reach the Vithi Sankul. Please note that there are many open air areas scattered in the premises so you may miss many if you dont explore carefully.

All the things that tribes uses like there clothes there living environment means their huts, shelter their utensils, toys, weapons and other things they uses.So many tribes are covered from the north to the farthest south.Other galleries are covered with different art and cultures of india.Some galleries have the musical history of india.All the equipment or we can say all the different sound (music) producing equipment were there which were used by different communities of india.Highly recommended place to visit in bhopal.Strongly strongly recommended!!

If you want to take a break from the fast moving world for a while, come at this place. You will realize that you have entered a place with time machine; however,please remember this time machine will take you back in time, and let you go through the origin of life, and human kinds/race. You will also realize that humanity is the most widespread religion. You will be amazed with the pre-historic scientific methods at one time, and another will become still at the beauty of sculptures. The Museum is organize in different zone to display theme based models. Directions are marked on the floor. You will come out of this museum with lot of respect for your ancestors and will thank almighty God for this world. This place has good parking space, and common facilities like water and toilets. Museum shop is bit expensive but worth buying some unique tribal sculptures. The canteen shop is decent and has common snack items, and soft drinks

Review №83

A must visit. It is generally ignored because of the sprawling and imposing zoo/ Van Vihar next to it. But, this place provides a wholesome experience. The amicable staff is very friendly. A small canteen is also there at the hilltop. It takes 3 to 4 hours to fully visit all the dwellings. It is good that management allows visitors to enter most of the huts. Aquaguard filtered cold water dispensers are available at every few meters. But, because of the hilly landscape, feel exhausted towards the end. Children also enjoy a lot.
