Museum of Himachal Culture & Folk Art

A very interesting place to visit if you want to know about the history, food, culture and habits of the people of this region. We saw a lot of interesting artifacts such as cooking utensils, ornaments, weights/measures, models of historical buildings, wood carvings, vintage photographs, coins and tools.

It's a small museum so you can finish within 1 hour of timeline but it is definitely worth that time.

This is must visit and has less looked after. Its cheap to enter this place and take a view of the culture of Himachal and history... Often not visited i guess... well maintained and nice history. You have to swim thru the shopping lanes to reach this place.

Timings: 9 am - 5 pm.

Entry Fee: Rs 10 per person

The Museum is a unique and extraordinary collection of rare antiques of the state. It demonstrates the articles that clearly display the forgotten culture, art and handicraft of Himachal Pradesh.

The Museum is a completely unique and awesome series of unknown and rare antiques of the kingdom. It demonstrates the almost extinct articles that in reality show the forgotten culture, artwork and handicraft of Himachal Pradesh. The Museum shows fashions of temples, antique houses and forts, conventional dresses, utensils, musical and ritual units, timber carvings and diverse other articles.
The museum is lovely but many artifacts and historic gadgets that can be of fascination to people journeying the location. totally encouraged in case you want to get to recognise the local ancient history of the region. The museum is clean and well maintained and much less crowded for the reason that it would not appear to be a museum. it's very well embellished with precise collectives of historical time.

No one there for guiding or taking care of this place nor explaining the information about things kept there, people are visiting inside with no common sense, making noise touching the artefacts and so on. i suggest the authority to give someone authority to take care of the museum.

It's just near to Hidimba temple.

Nothing much to offer..

If you want to learn about the history of Himachal then the museum is great but you won't find any dedicated guide in this museum. The entry fee for the museum is 20rs INR which you have to prepay before you enter.
