Kanha Museum

कान्हा संग्रहालय

A nature interpretation centre in the Kanha zone, using specimens, models, and illustrated displays to explain the reserve's ecology and the conservation history of the barasingha. It is a good stop during a safari.

The museum is located beside the Kanha meadows. Its exhibits include a topographic model of the reserve, animal skeletons and specimens, plaster casts of tiger footprints, and the story of barasingha conservation, from a population of just 66 animals on the brink of extinction to more than a thousand today. Safari vehicles usually stop here for a break during the middle of the morning session, and there are restrooms and a small shop nearby. There is no separate admission fee.
