Sanskriti Museum & Art Gallery

Sanskriti Museum and Art Gallery houses stone tools, bronze artifacts, iron age items, ceramics, and Buddhist antiquities collected from the Hazaribagh region. The displays provide a comprehensive overview of material culture and artistic development across different time periods.

Bulu Imam established the museum in 1991 inside a former Tea Garden District Labour Association building constructed in 1919. The creation was prompted by the discovery of rock art near Isco.

The ethnological section shows how the Birhors, Santhals, and Oraons express their identity through songs, stories, and daily customs. Visitors can see how these communities keep their traditions alive through crafts and rituals.

The museum provides a research library with published papers, books, and newsletters for visitors interested in studying local heritage. These resources help visitors understand the collections more deeply and explore the region's history.

The collection features around 200 Khovar and Sohrai art paintings that represent traditional wedding and harvest customs of the Hazaribagh area. These hand-painted works show artistic expressions rooted in the daily practices of local communities.
