Museum of Man


Amidst at the nature , heritage , entertainment and development  there is another substantial sphere of experience in the heart of the city Bhubaneswar- Museum of Tribal Arts and Artifacts. Initially established  in 1986 as five different huts representing five tribe groups this museum has grown to a  large building and five different halls from 2001. The cultural life of indigenous people  of Odisha  is researched and documented in the form of artifacts.  The five different halls  put on display the things as follows 

Hall 1 :  Ornaments that were worn and  decorated by tribes ,made by themselves.
Hall 2: The personal belongings, art and wall paintings made by raw natural products, and some very ancient photographs.
Hall 3:  Weapons used by tribes for defense, hunting, fishing etc.
Hall 4: objects of household and objects used for agriculture.
Hall 5: Instruments used for playing music and dance related items.

The museum is a wonderful campus  designed to depict the tribal life with few  little huts, small gardens, walls painted with natural paints used by tribes , statues of tribes at places etc.  The positioning of wooden chairs, artificial animals, original wooden wheels and carts and many such things is going to make you breathe the aura of ancient days.
