Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Manav Sangrahalaya, National anthropology museum in Bhopal, India.
The museum spans across 200 acres on Shamla Hills, featuring indoor exhibition halls and outdoor sections displaying traditional dwellings from various regions.
Established in 1977 in New Delhi's Bahawalpur House, the museum later relocated to Bhopal due to space constraints in the capital.
The exhibitions present life-size replicas of tribal habitats, complete with household items, tools, grain storage systems, and religious artifacts.
The museum remains open from 10 AM to 5 PM every day except Mondays and national holidays, offering guided tours in multiple languages.
The complex contains 32 prehistoric painted rock shelters, making it the largest museum dedicated to human civilization in Asia.
