I visited this museum on a whim and absolutely loved it. The displays were well done and incredibly educational. There are different galleries all themed around a different aspect of tribal life (music, clothing, jewelry, etc.). Each gallery has a computer where you can read more about the items in the display cases and even see videos of pictures of the items in use. The museum also has artisans making their traditional tribal crafts which you can buy (for what felt like a fair price). Outside the official gallery rooms, there are examples of traditional tribal houses, as well as just beautifully landscaped grounds. If you only have time to go to one museum in Bhubaneswar, I’d choose this one.

Is is a must visit place when in Bhubaneshwar.
Entry is free but need to show Covid Final Certificate before entering for Adults.
Very well maintained place, clean and neat. It has access to clean toilets and safe drinking water.
It showcases the actual culture, the way of living of the tribal people in Odisha.
The way they stay, their livelihood etc. You can experience and feel the different types of homes from inside and outside. We people living in cities are totally cut off from tribal world and going to such places makes us aware of their simplicity and also the difficulty in which they are living. Places like this museum makes us sensitive and aware about the tribal community an important part of the state and country. The tribal people have been living a sustainable life since hundreds of years.
You will love the paintings the art and architecture after visiting this place.

Nice place.well maintained..Children as well as elders will enjoy seeing the museum which is displaying tribal art,jewellery,costume,musical instruments etc.
It has wheelchair accessible entrance,car park and toilet.There is no entry fee.Its closed on Monday and public holidays.It has small restaurant.you can find Bamboo chicken there(Though it doesn't taste extraordinary but a homely one).Very limited snacks and lunch menu are available at the restaurant.
Half a day visit would be more than enough.

Well maintained place with a great garden and with a wide variety of local artefacts that can even be bought there in a small shop. They even have a demo room for tribals to show off their art. There are guides in each room to help update and guide on various artefacts with video screens to tap into and read for more info.

A beautiful introduction to the art and artifacts of Odisha- all in one convenient place. The Museum has rooms dedicated to various arts and craft of the state and it takes you down to the past when these arts originated. Some master craftspersons were seen working in the museum rooms and making pieces even as they demonstrated same before the visitors. Pottery, stonework, metal craft and tapestry and many more.
The Museum building itself is very quaint with delicate murals and tribal art and paintings on the walls.

My local guide took me to this museum. This is a beautifully designed museum which is interactive and gives a complete idea of the tribes of Odisha and their culture and way of life. It seems to be new and looks amazing

This is a must see attraction in Bhunaeswar especially if you like to understand local customs, traditions & their lifestyle. Being one of the highly Tribal dominated state this is a befitting display of their lifestyle. DOne up very nicely.
The Museum is completely Indoors with adequate Air Conditioning. So it was a pleasureable experiecne even during the peak Summer of April

Thanks in advance

3 hours is enough including a stop at the nice cafeteria serving cheap and local food and beverages. There are 3-4 large rooms to visit with many items in each (clothes, tools, weapons etc). They also have indigeneous huts to visit and several shops. The garden is charming and the whole thing is totally clean and well maintained. A pleasant visit.
