Mizoram State Museum

The Mizoram State Museum contains five main galleries across four floors, presenting exhibitions about textiles, ethnology, history, anthropology, and natural history.

The Education Department established this museum in April 1977 through the Tribal Research Institute, and relocated it to McDonald Hill in 1990.

The museum displays traditional Mizo houses, regional costumes, folk musical instruments, and ceremonial knives that represent local customs and practices.

The museum operates under the Art and Culture department and features renovated exhibition spaces supported by the Indian Museum in Kolkata.

This institution maintains approximately 2,500 artifacts including photographs, archaeological objects, and tribal weapons representing different Mizoram communities.
