A small yet enthralling museum that offers closer look into the lives of the tribals - original natives of these islands. Some of them are natives since last 50000 years. It is close to the Dir of Tourism's office that issues permits for Ross Island, Laser Show, Jolly Buoy island etc. Spend about 1 hour at this amazing museum. Also visit Samudrika Marine Museum at Delanipur area of the city. Rest museums can be skipped.

Good collection of items and displays. Need appropriate interest level to enjoy. The time needed: ˜30 mins.
The old building; though maintained decently, could be better.
The ticket issuer could be a little polite.

I visited this museum after returning from the cellular jail. This is a centrally located place near Andman and Nicobar Tourist office. It has clean and green ambiance with aesthetically decorated frontal wall. Stepping provides it an extra grace. One should see the things in its own local context and not compare with national and international museum galleries. In that way it is a well maintained small museum. With its limited resourses it serves its purpose well.
It provides us a glimpse of tribal life of those old days and present day living pattern and behavior of Jarwa tribal’s. There is good display of, photographs posters, models .artifacts, tools and weapons used by them. I was particularly fascinated by the replica and models of boats, canoes and huts, depicting their way of hunting, living and eating. There is small souvenir and gift shop, just before the entrance of the museum gallery.
We enjoyed and passed about one hour in this museum and came out, thinking, their carefree way of living with minimum requirements. In contrast modern well developed civilized man with all his collections of materiel and costly gadgets seems heavily care-laden. If you come to visit this far off place and interested in knowing the life pattern of original inhabitants of these islands, it is worth visiting this museum.

You are not allowed to click photos inside, its a museum that has ancient houses, weapons, maps etc. Just a 10-15 min walk inside, just to be aware of their history. Honeymoon couples can best avoid it.
