Enjoyed some me time at this restoration site and enjoyed the environment. The premise is squeaky clean...nothing like from 1875 when it was erected! Also nice to see people actually interested because this place has some superb artifacts with narratives that compliment the collection.A mix of mythology and history. Also met someone from the archeology department of the museum who was acting as a guide to a visitor...Private tours are organised for key visits.Would recommend spending time at the tribal art floor which is like a studio and will attract art lovers for sure...has a very vibrant feel. The art gallery alongside is only open for specific exhibition which is hosted. Photography is allowed in the museum but video is prohibited. They also have a collection of wild animals which have been preserved using chemicals. Overall a nice experience only if you are a history and art lover otherwise you might be bored...
A true heritage store of India.
Entire Central India rule starting from the 10th century is revealed in the museum. The tribal communities and their lifestyle displayed very well. Felt proud of our cultural heritage and advancement in those decades.
Jai Ho, India!
Got a chance to see the history of Chhattisgarh closely. Jordhar for civil services aspirants. Along with me we will learn Chhattisgarhi Sanskriti, Nritya, Janajatiyon.
Great memorial museum!! The best place to gather information about the ancient arts, sculpture and crafts of Chhattisgarh and specially Bastar arts.
