A fantastic and real life experience into the Tribal Lives !!!!

The Madhya Pradesh Tribal Museum is a place for all Museum lovers and is one of a kind. Being in Bhopal for 3 days, this was one of the top recommendations from all the travel portals. But the museum truly lives up to its expectations.

The museum shows the actual life of all the various tribes in and around Madhya Pradesh, such as the Bhil Tribe, Gond Tribe, Baiga Tribe, etc. However, the exciting part is that all the structures are created in life-sized models. For instance, the houses of each of the tribes are in life-sized models, and you can step inside each of the huts. Inside the huts too, all the objects, such as the utensils, etc., are kept in perfect order and are of actual sizes.

Once you keep moving inside the museum, it also covers the various architecture and customs related to the tribes. For instance, in one area, a huge bangle is installed with miniature statues of animals and plants. The information board states this is prepared and given to the brides post-marriage. It is a symbol of auspiciousness and prosperity.

One side of the museum also deeply covers the places of worship of the various tribes. This includes the various deities that each of them worships. The best part about every structure is that it has a proper information board that signifies the importance of the structure to each of the visitors, providing even more depth into the lives of the tribes. There are also various tools and handmade instruments kept inside for display. The transition parts between different areas show information about the occupational work the tribes are involved in, including pottery, farming, etc.

The museum takes 2-3 hours to visit each structure properly from the inside. But if you love museums, this one will definitely be unforgettable and is a must-visit when on a tour to Bhopal. Also, special kudos to the curators and the staff for maintaining the museum exceptionally well.\
