Tribal Museum, Bhopal

Tribal Museum is a rich tapestry of exhaustive exhibits showcasing the tribal art and culture. It highlights various aspects of the tribes in Madhya Pradesh and Chattisgarh. The artistic displays are mesmerising as it creates awareness about the tribal rituals, customs, forms of worship and so on.

Former President Pranab Mukherjee inaugurated the museum of Tribal Heritage on June 6, 2013. It was created and dedicated to the tribal people of Madhya Pradesh. The vast gallery showcases the way of life of seven significant tribes of Madhya Pradesh - The Bheel, Gond, Korku, Baiga, Sahariya, Bhariya and Kol. Spread across 7 acres of land, Tribal Museum also holds an auditorium, a small boutique shop of artefacts and a restaurant. It stands out from the rest of museums in the country because of the way the exhibits are canvassed. Although the artworks are difficult to decipher, it beautifully depicts the tales of tribes. The museum occasionally organises activities based on the cultural forms such as talk show, poetry, vocal play, film and dance. With over 30% of the tribal population, this rich repository of traditional artwork and aesthetics is commissioned by the Government of Madhya Pradesh.
