The structure is unique in its architecture, constructed on a rocky terrain incorporating difficult levels of the slopy land. The various exhibition halls and auditoriums have been constructed on approximately 16 levels. The structure is covered with Dholpur sand-stone cladding from all sides, and the flooring is made with Kota and Red sand stones. Approximately 7000 sq.mt. floor area is utilized for exhibitions, in 10 galleries. An important aspect of these galleries are the active involvement of different community groups in developing the exhibits, and their presentations in appropriate environment. Another special feature is the life size displays and visitor friendly approaches for visitors convenience.Gallery 1:Human Evolution and Variation: It presents the landmarks of the process of human evolution in different stages through models, photographs, charts, sketches, etc. Emphasis has been put on the Narmada-man discovered at Hathnora in Madhya Pradesh, which indicates India as one of the early locations of human bio-cultural evolution.Gallery 2:Human Odyssey – Depicts material cultural objects on settlement patterns, subsistence and aesthetic activities of hunter-gatherers, shifting cultivators, pastoralists, peasants and ethno-medical practitioners in India;Gallery 3:Longo Jatra – A festival of the Koitor life style and festivities of Gond tribes of Central India.Gallery 4:Mandwa Gohri – envisages holistic presentation on the Bhill tribes of Western India.Gallery 5:Ethnic Art: - Presents the ethnic art of selected folk and tribal communities from Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, etc.Gallery 6:Belief Systems, Cosmology and Rituals – Presents ritual objects, photographs, masks, memorial pillars, paintings, etc. to narrate cosmology, belief systems and rituals of different communities.Gallery 7:Music & Performing Traditions – Presents music traditions of various communitiesGallery 8:Masks – Repository of varieties of traditional masks collected from different parts of India.Gallery 9:Textile & Culinary Traditions – Depicts traditional architecture, textile tradition, traditional technology and culinary traditions.Gallery 10:Reserve Collection & Research Gallery - A representative collection of about 4,000 objects from the Museum’s artifacts store of over 20,000 objects are on display in a big hall on the lower ground floor.

However; bring your refreshments and energy drinks along as visiting each and every hutment climbing the steep slopy hillocks will drain you out. Trekking shoes ~ bring em on!!!Cameras and photography allowed but without flash.Ticket Rs 50 per adult. No ticket for kids.Ample parking space.

A great place to see veethi sankul museum in Manav Sangrahlaya.Human civilization starting from the stone age is well depicted at this place.So many things, a lot of things I would say, are kept from ancient time and are maintained at par level.What a maintenance, hats off to all the people who work there!You will relish each and every thing you see there. Its too good, trust me.Must visit this place in Bhopal.It is so big that it may take your whole day to spent there and understand the human history. But it is totally a worth place to spend your time.To know how we evolved, how we used to love and how we survived?Each and everything that one wants to know, it is there!

Good set of information available with nice text and exhibition illustrations. Various galleries are well set-up. It wouldve been better to have more content around human evolution and related phenomena like historical society formation. Directions are given for methodical access. Improvement is needed in terms of ventilation and cooling, as its very suffocating in summers.

This place consists of 2 kinds of museums- 1. Open air museum, 2. In-house museumOpen air museum consists of various types of traditional homes which are/were built by people across various states in India.2. In house museum is depiction of tribal culture.Big negative side of this place is that big cats like leopard are often seen roaming around open air museum so dont leave your kids alone, stay in groups.For people who are really interested in knowing knowing cultural practices of India, spare one whole day for each museum

It is a well aclaimed effort by Veethi Sankul to present general public an experience of the tribal life. It exhibit an Open air cottage inhabited by various tribes of Indian states. Tools, carts and other mechanized equipments used by tribes gives a learning experience. Indoor museum depicts their face masks, daily tools, dance forms, musical instruments, fighting tools, dress, etc. which gives in-depth knowledge of their life forms.

Manav Sangrahalaya as known popularly has exhibits which appeal to all age groups, and lovers of science, art, music, dance and also history. Sculpture, artefacts are very well displayed and ambience is lovely. One can spend more than half day inside and the rest half day seeing the outside habitats of different regions of India. I have visited about 6 times so far. Now theyve tie-up with Amazon for online purchase of products from their store. Every month good literary program, work shops and festivals are organized time to time from nook and corners of India.

Veethi Sankul is a Hindi word which means gallery complex. As the name suggest, its an indoor museum inside Manav Sangrahalay which shows the tradition and culture followed by the different groups of Men (Tribes). Some of them has been extinct and some are still there.In this museum you will get to know how did they used to live? How do there houses look like? There marriage traditions, there festivals, there celebrations and many more, from there utensils to weapons, all are preserved in this museum.Visit it at least once because National Museum of humankind or Museum of Man (anthropology museum) is one and only one and is situated in Bhopal.It covers almost all tribes of India from Sikkim (North) to Srirangam (South), from scheduled to nomadic tribes.You will got to know journey of mankind from Stone age to till today.

A great place telling us about a lot of details of human civilization. India being a diverse area with a lot of culture, this place is a good place to study about them. A little lacking in the museum is the details of all sets are not completely explained. A little about evolution and the genetic variation and basics of genetic material is explained. The veethi sankul is part of the museum of human civilization (Manav sangralay). The entry fee is 50₹ for the entry to Manav sangralay and the same ticket is used to enter the veethi sankul.

Vithi Sankul is indoor part of Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Manav Sangrahalaya (IGRMS). 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.
