Madhya Pradesh Tribal Museum
मध्यप्रदेश जनजातीय संग्रहालय
An immersive museum created by tribal artists themselves, using installations to present the homes, beliefs, and worldview of Madhya Pradesh's seven major tribes.
The Tribal Museum opened in 2013 and has consistently ranked among Bhopal's best-reviewed attractions. Nearly all the exhibits were created on site by artists from the Gond, Bhil, Baiga, Korku, and other tribes. Using clay, bamboo and wood, metal, and straw, they built village houses, deities, weddings, and games scenes. The galleries feel like one giant art installation, and the colors and details are astonishing. Admission ranges from a few dozen to a few hundred rupees, and photography costs extra. The museum is closed on Mondays and national holidays. Allow about 2 hours. The State Museum is right next door, so you can visit both.
Opening hours
Tue–Sun 12:00–19:00
