Srimanta Sankaradeva Kalakshetra, Art museum in Guwahati, India

Srimanta Sankaradeva Kalakshetra is an art museum in Guwahati devoted to displaying crafts and artistic works from Assam, housed in a modern building complex with several exhibition halls. The collections include paintings, sculptures, old manuscripts, and handcrafted objects spread throughout different areas.

In 1986 the Assam government's cultural advisory committee proposed a centre for dance, drama, music, fine arts and literature, and the project was named Srimanta Sankaradeva Kalakshetra. Governor Bhishma Narayan Singh laid the foundation stone on 2 February 1988 on about 14 acres in Panjabari. In 1990 the state sought to place the scheme under Clause 6 of the Assam Accord, and President K. R. Narayanan opened the complex to the public on 9 November 1998.

The institution is named after Srimanta Sankaradeva, the 15th-century Vaishnava reformer regarded as the father of the Assamese nation. Its Central Museum holds about 4,000 objects, among them Sattriya masks, musical instruments, terracotta and clay work, textiles, cane and bamboo items, and brassware. The children's park is dedicated to writer Bhabendra Nath Saikia.

Visitors can explore the exhibition halls during the day and take their time with the different collections. Guided tours in multiple languages are available, and students or researchers can benefit from special educational programs.

The grounds include an open-air theater where performers present Sattriya dance and Ankiya Naat, the traditional art forms that this scholar originally developed. These dance styles come alive through live performances rather than just being displayed in cases.
