Assam State Museum

Located near Dighalipukhuri, one of the most buzzing and thriving areas of Guwahati, Assam State Museum is a place that every culture-chaser needs to visit. Often claimed to be the largest multipurpose museum of the nation, with defined sections for every article and artifacts, this establishment is known for the organized nature of its operation. The origin of the Assam State Museum goes back to 1940 when it was built after the collective effort of the Kamarupa Anusandhan Samiti (Assam Research Society). Due to its pre-independence connection, the establishment has a clear colonial touch and it only adds to its heritage status.

The museum curators are always on their toes to analyze the trend of time and are in constant effort to amalgamate the old with the contemporary. Apart from the authentic prehistoric ivory paintings, sculptures, metal/ woodwork and costumes, you can also find a library here. One more thing, here you can find the replicas of the tribal huts from the major tribes of Assam and inspect every aspect on your own without visiting a far-off village!
