Jawaharlal Nehru State Museum

The Jawaharlal Nehru State Museum contains collections of traditional tribal artifacts, clothing, jewelry, and tools from various Arunachal Pradesh communities on two exhibition floors.

The museum, established on January 15, 1990, displays archaeological findings from excavation sites including Ita Fort, Noksparbat, and Malinithan in the West Siang district.

The ethnographic collection on the ground floor presents traditional art, religious objects, musical instruments, wood carvings, and products made from local cane materials.

The museum includes a handicrafts workshop center and a dedicated shop where visitors can purchase traditional tribal crafts made by local artisans.

In 2011, Tapi Mra, the first person from Arunachal Pradesh to reach Mount Everest's summit, donated his complete expedition gear to the museum collection.
