IGRMS is the largest anthropological museum in the country. Spread over a large area it is physically impossible to see everything in one go. If you really want to understand the anthropological history and heritage of India, plan to spend at least four hrs everyday spread over three-four days. Photography is allowed.

This beautiful and enriching museum is located on the Shamla Hills area of Bhopal and is spread over about 210 acres of rocky and forested land.

Morning and evenings are better as the days are hot on the near bare and rocky hill top.…

Must club with the neighbouring Tribal Museum. …

A half a day is perhaps needed to minutely observe the exhibits . But we missed an audio aid to take you through the place . Further. the sales counter lacks teeth . However it was a wonderful place to visit for history and anthropology enthusiasts . …

It's location is very prime, with upper Lake in front and van vihar on side. Total area is very big so it is better to go with your vehicle. Lot to see and photographed. If lucky one can get a glimpse of tiger in van vihar from here. Happy time
