It's great place for gain your knowledge. The Assam State Museum was established on 21st April in 1940. The Kamrupa Anusandhana Samiti which was the pioneer organization in the field of historical and antiquarian studies of Assam had established the Assam State Museum. The museum was formally inaugurated by the Governor of Assam Sir Robert Neil Reid. Rai Bahadur Kanaklal Barua, Raibahadur Ananda Chandra Agarwalla, Late Rai Bahadur Kali Ram Medhi, their untiring efforts were greatly responsible for establishment of the Museum.

Amazing collection of creations. Nice clean. However there must be some descriptions of exhibits. Everyone may not be aware of things place. If description is provided it would be great to understand the exhibits and history or mythology behind it. Directions within premises could be handy and helpful. Otherwise things are well managed and systematic. A place worth to visit.

Great place for gaining lot of knowledge. If you are father and your children is 7 to 14 years then definitely do check this place , he will learn history, culture etc.

The Assam State Museum was founded by the Kamrupa Anusandhan Samity and was opened on 21st April, 1940 by Sir Robert Reid, the then Governor of Undivided Assam. The Provincial Museum was taken over by the Govt. of Assam in 1953. The exhibits of the Museum are displayed under different sections, viz., Epigraphy, Sculptures, Miscellaneous, Natural History, art and Crafts, Anthropology & Folk Art & Arms section. The sculptures from the Assam region fall into four principal categories - stone, wood, metal and terracotta. The collections which are on display here, are very rare. The library in Assam State Museum was established in 1985 and is rich in its stenographic collections. There are various periodicals, journals and books relating to art, culture, mythology, biography, encyclopedic works and even the Asiatic Society journals of the country.

For a deeper insight into the history and culture of the state, Assam State Museum, located at the heart of the city, is a great stopover. The collections include royal garments, weapons, paintings, sculptures, stone and copper inscriptions, woodwork and more. Some memorabilia from World War II is also on display. Established in 1940, it is among the bigger multipurpose museums in the country. It is divided into various sections like sculptures, natural history, folk art, crafts and epigraphy. Some interesting exhibits in these include bamboo items, coins, musical instruments, ivory paintings etc. A library inside the museum is particularly amazing, as it houses a rich collection of journals, periodicals and books relating to mythology, biography, art and culture, and other subjects.

It presents the Assam heritage in the best possible way you can imagine. There are various sections within the museum. The Arms and Ammunition gallery is present in the groundfloor and is to the right when you enter the museum. The cultural art and history along with the Assam traditions and Music and Literature sections are spread in various parts. There is also section of excavated idols and the miniature version of village life setup. The auditorium within the museum conducts some programs on special occasion. The overall experience is great.

It is one of the most famous museums of the North- East India that gives insights into the rich culture of ancient history and as well as the modern history of North-East India.

•The Assam State Museum was opened in the year 1940. •It has collections related to almost every happening or things pertaining to the rich and glorious history of Assam and its rich culture. •It has two floors with multiple sections in one. •The place is calm and serene. •Visitors are moderate. •Timings, entry fees and other costs are attached down below. •Parking is available inside the compound. •Photography is paid.

Its a museum of Assam state which is situated just next to Guwahati railway station. You can go there by walk or can take local transport. Very good place to know about the culture of Assamese people and Assam. Museum is not so big but still if you like historical things then definitely you will like it.

One of the must visit places in guwahati , this museum has lots to offer from sculptures to cultural things . The infrastructure is good and it feels peaceful to explore this museum because it's not very busy . The ticket price is reasonable and varies according to age , nationality and students . This is a good place to know about the culture of Assam and i will suggest you take a guide who can explain all the things in detail . Without a guide it will be the same as reading a book without understanding it . Photography charges exclude the ticket, you have to pay extra for photography . Talking about my experience... It was really amazing and good for a one time visit .

I came here once when i was a kid (during an drawing class when our teacher took us for an hour or so to sketch the objects basically a statue out there) from the blurry images that I remember I can say that I had a wonderful time exploring each floor from "Traditional Axomiya Pakh Ghor to Old manuscript" (that's the most I can recall right now) I must say I literally want to pay a visit soon cause that's where you could discover some unknown things and learn and see. (P.s- whenever I pass by the museum I'm like 'oi suwa eiat moi akibo ahisilu agote' )

2nd world War, Assam village life style and encient time memories are save here. Very good museum. Must to visit if you stay in Guwahati.

PREMISE: Surprisingly clean and very well managed. Helpful staff. EXHIBITS: Totally 13 galleries in all. As layman we were impressed with the efforts. Art historians can elaborate more for the accuracy. Having visited all the galleries, we felt stagnation of display. a very good scope of up-gradation. GENERAL: The brochure can be collected from the reception at the start. Time is 10 to 5. Monday closed. Worth once visit. even if Shillong Don Bosco was seen earlier.

Had a pleasant time in this museum. Ticket price for adults is 20 and if bought online, then 2 rupees extra will have to be spent. The museum closes at 5 PM. The museum is huge and has a large collection of ancient relics. Very good collection of old statues, cannons and guns, manuscripts and paintings. Important pieces of Assamese history can be found here. The thing that really stood out was some Japanese stuff from the World War 2 era. Highly recommend this place to someone looking to spend some time in and around Dighalipukhuri.

Very clear and well maintained. Many of the showcased items need clearer description. I also noticed a lot of mistakes (typos/grammatical) in the descriptions. The authority needs to rectify those. It can leave a negative impression on visitors especially those coming from other states/foreign tourists.

The Assam State Museum is located in the southern end of Dighali Pukhuri tank and it was taken over by the State Government.The Museum are displayed different sections- Epigraphy, Sculptures, Miscellaneous, Natural History, art and Crafts, Anthropology & Folk Art & Arms section. The sculptures is divided into four categories - stone, wood, metal and terracotta which are very rare. There are various journal, periodical, and books relating to culture, art, biography, mythology. You can visit from 10:00am to 5:00pm during summers and from 10:00am – 4:30pm during winters except government holiday.

It's a nice place to visit for museum lovers. But the museum needs to be upgraded and maintained properly.

Good place for those who love to explore history. It's about people, places and their culture, is spread over three floors and has different sections. It would require about 2-3 hours to go through each sections. Entry fee above 10 years is 20 and it's free for children below 10 years. Presently undergoing some renovation work however open for visitors. There is park beside a lake which is just opposite to the museum so visiting this place together for half a day is a good proposition.

A good collection of sculpture, a natural museum housing rhinos and some collection of dead once dating back to 1952. Very informative

It has so many historical monuments and stupas... they're quite in a good condition; if you have interest in history and want to see those things in real about the Assam ancient history then these place is a must visit for you! The price of the ticket is 20; although worth it and nice place to spend your good time!

Nice one if you are interested in History. I was there on 16th Sep, Sunday, non crowded area, it is in developing status, must visit of you are in interested in History.

I didn't get a chance to visit here though located very close unless sudden impromptu plan got materialize when my niece nephew were in town. Its a good place to understand roots of our Assamese culture and also show it to others needing more info and have a look in details. My little niece and nephew had a great time there. Hope they maintain the same in better manner for tourists visiting Assam and keen to see our rich cultural History.

Awesome place for anyone who likes exploring Museum. Museum building is very big & there is lot to see & explore.It has lot of information related to NE culture, their history, their traditional clothes, sculptures. Manuscripts of various era are also there. Coins used in different era is also present there. It also has a section where objects from Indus valley civilization & Harappan Civilization are kept. Only one cons is that one may feel humidity inside & fans present there aren't working well. Ticket price- Rs 20/adult

Good collection. Nicely kept and very friendly staff. I loved the old house. You actually get the feel of the way they lived at that time.One can get to know old Assamese culture and life in an hour.

Assam State Museum is little bit small and containing less things but still the things are attractive. The ground floor is full of sculpture.. the 1 st floor is full of artistic works , full of paintings and all. But 2 nd floor is most attractive of all it has lots of mini model of village. They are proper enough to capture the view of village. If you are student then take the I'd with you it would help you to get tickets in less fare.

Old building that should be kept in a better state. The sculpture department is the most interesting. Assam village life is also nice to visit.

A treasure house of the rich culture and heritage of Assam. The museum houses different art forms. There are the mask sculptures, various clothes of the indigenous people of the land, scenes depicting everyday lives of these people and many more. Apart from Assam, the museum also has artifacts preserved from other places. The main attraction is a village life scene made in reality. The place is a must visit tourist attraction in Guwahati. Also every time one visits the place, a lot of knowledge can be gained.

This is the state Museum of Assam situated in Guwahati city. One can explore all the culture of various tribes of Assam and North east.

Got to know new things about Assam.❤️

The Assam State Museum is the mirror of Assam. Here people can see and learn vivid cultural -social diversity of state. This is the place to know Assamese History and tradition. The Assamese pride and prosperity also reflected here. Need more publicity and modern technology to develop this museum as one of the best resourceful place in the country.

💯👌

The Assam State Museum is one of the famous museums in the whole Northeast😇 as it is rich in its own traditional culture... ❤ You can find all the ancient things that our ancestors used... It is very big inside... 😌so that you can walk around and take the experience of happiness that you get by exploring things... That you haven't seen before...🤞🏻 So visit this place and know about the rich culture of Assam... ❤

The museum is great but I was wondering why do they have to bring the 2nd world war artillery, machine gun and cannon ball launcher from Kohima and keep in Guwahati?? It should have let them preserve itself there in Kohima or Kisama. The WW II materials have nothing to do with Guwahati apart from keeping it but it's has a story to tell if they are preserved in Kohima Or Kisama. That's the Naga heritage where the great stories took place in real event in nearby villages....

All good except for condition of some of the animals were not so good

In Assam State Museum 😚☺🤗 with my best friend

Visited on 20 November 2021. It's a real treasure of many artifacts. Various sections in two buildings will attract you. You can find many students doing painting in front of sculptures. Some sections are closed for renovation.

Good. Well maintained. This museum is divided into different sections like manuscripts, arms and ammunition, terracotta, epigraphy, metallic sculptures and natural history. As you explore more, you get a deeper insight about many unknown facts of the tribes inhabiting the region.

Amazing 📍Place ✨ The exhibits of the Museum are displayed under different sections, viz., Epigraphy, Sculptures, Miscellaneous, Natural History, art and Crafts, Anthropology & Folk Art & Arms section.

1st of all there's no entry fee. Lovely archeological artefacts and assamese traditional instrument, their living style and lovely floats of assamese culture.

An excellent place to explore all those historical collections. I like each and every gallery of this Museum.

The collection is really poor. A person who is new to Assam would never be able to learn about the state and its history from the museum. More than half of the Museum is closed for maintenance. There isn’t much collection available.

It’s an interesting museum to get a glimpse of Assam’s Past since 10th century onwards. But there are major shortcomings: 1. The articles Don’t have a Dynasty Named - which kingdom was ruler during that period - !!??? 2. Almost Zero amount of Palaeolithic and Neolithic articles- these leaves a Big Gap in continuous history of assam. 3. The articles needs more details on material , influences and dynasty. 4. Effort should be made to arrange articles in Chronological order.

If u want to know Assam and it's culture you must visit this museum. But ticket counter process is so slow, Assam govt need to work on this.

Cool..You should Visit This Place

When you are in Guwahati must visit place to understand the culture of Assam. Do pay for mobile phone camera entry fees to capture the cultural monuments.

One of the beautiful museum in North East..

Really nice museum

Good place

Nice

The only big Museum of Assam where ancient items are kept. It's necessary to apply some new technologies to make the items more durable.

Good

Nice to visit one.

Museum

Love it

The best place to know about the Old Assamese Culture. There is some guns,missiles nd coins that u should see if u visit the museum. But the directions of rooms inside the building are not so gd. U have to find urself. Otherwise u will miss lots of things.

Its a great and beautiful museum run by Assam state Govt.

Old is gold

Too much history to have

Its wonderful. A beautiful attempt to showcase the heritage of state of Assam. Loved the stone carvings, the ethno-cultural displays and the paintings. Had the chance to see some world war 2 weaponry, which I really enjoyed. I was looking for some time to kill, and I am glad that I decided to visit the museum and that I ended up enjoying it. Hope more people would add this to their to-visit list.

a place full of worth and knowledge . So its a must visit to know about North East India . However the place demands *more* *maintainence* and *lighting* . Most importantly a proper guide book is required to know more about specific display in details. Also the museum needs a little more addition .

🥰🥰

Online on Saturday shows open but guard said closed

Our northeast has many more tribes ... which I have seen there used weapons and used materials ..... and toilets was smelling very badly...but overall it was good.

It's extremely Beautiful Place with a lots of antic pieces.. Thr security and maintenance was quiet good

Good collection on Indus Valley Civilization and native Assam archeological finds. Needs more professional approach from staff. The citations or notes should contain more information apart from place of finding and age.

It gives us a great overview of the history of state of Assam

Very nice museum

This is only some of historical collection...Ex- coins,murti & dress...etc

You can visit here, for huge knowledge of history

Most of the rooms of the museum was locked up. None of the employees had any clue why it is like that.. only 2- 3 exhibits were open. Bad experience.....

Assam is known for Assam tea and Assam silk. The state was the first site for oil drilling in Asia. Assam is home to the one-horned Indian rhinoceros, along with the wild water buffalo, pygmy hog, tiger and various species of Asiatic birds, and provides one of the last wild habitats for the Asian elephant.You all can see Assam's culture

Nice pic

The fabric put up for show is old and needs to be renewed. This is the state museum but the condition is not all upto the mark. The items need to be preserved and lighting improved. Lot has to be done to improve the condition.

The museum is under renovation as of now. A section of the museum is not accessible. I suggest to delay your visit to sometimes in future when the renovation is complete and you can access the entire museum. Apart from that the artefacts in museum were great and well maintained.

Liked it

Good place to explore.

One of the famous museum north-east India

Not bad

The Assam State Museum, previously Assam Provincial Museum, is located in the southern end of Dighali Pukhuri tank which is in the heart of Guwahati city, Assam. The Museum was established by the Kamarupa Anusandhan Samiti (Assam Research Society) in 1940. The late Kanklal Baruah was the founder and president. In the year 1953, it was taken over by the Assam State Government.

Nice place

Wide variety of animals especially Rhino, must visit place (it's also located at a very convenient location)

Good for viewing old memories

Pls like share n coment ..ok

It's closed for the last 2 years....we went there during Durga Puja....

It's a very beautiful place but we are not able to enter into the museum due to the Covid restrictions.

A great view point into Assam and it's rich history. Right from Indus valley to the 2nd world war, artefacts are many and magnificent

The ambience is great, well maintained, has a good preserve of historical stuffs to ponder and cleanliness is balanced. Though the staff is a bit rough to communicate.

Good but a tad boring. Brief description of each exhibit could make it more interesting.

Beautiful Ambience I Think There should be Have a Guide Person For more Clearity

very beautiful it was fun to know about the history of Assam and adjoining states. The rich heritage of north east india was shown beautifully.

Giving it a 5 star rating because of the collection present there that showcases so much about Assam, its history and its culture. The place deserve a high rating for that. Though, the maintenance left a lot to be desired. People won't come if the place is not kept properly. Also, lack of advertisement of the museum is a big disadvantage as people are not aware of the collections there.

It's a good place to gather knowledge about the history of Assam. Each exhibition is unique and useful. The artifact dates back centuries. Multiple levels are there. There is even a full size village on one of the floors. It's a completely different experience.

Not big museum. Can complete in 2 hours. Opens at 10am. ₹20 entry fees, ₹50 extra for taking photos with cell phone. All sections are not open, 2-3 sections are closed.

All of Assam History can be found here and even the Culture and foods of Assam. Very well maintained museum.

One of the good places for some knowledge of history, art, culture and more. Big and good museum, better visit when you are not in hurry so you can enjoy.

It's managed by the government. Museum same as other state government museums, various articles on display related to Assamese culture . Very near to Gauhati High Court, RBI, Gauhati Planetarium, and a 10 minutes walk from the railway station.

This museum is divided into different sections like manuscripts, arms and ammunition, terracotta, epigraph, metallic sculptures and natural History. Assam village life style. 2nd world War. Very good museum.

A fine place to visit The campus is nice The location is good You have to pay some fees to click photos inside, so don't forget to pay that in the ticket counter. We had to come back and pay then only we were allowed. Or if you don't want any pics then it's up to you.

A place for someone who would want to explore the old excavations. Beautiful sculpture from old times. A must visit. It's just Rs. 20 per head and I would suggest to take Rs. 50 ticket extra to have permission to click photographs. You won't be able to resist your temptation to click photographs.

It was really a very nice experience. There were some more cool things also which couldn't take pictures of.

Average type. If you have nothing to do, you are just feeling bored, then you can go for it. It will take 30 mins to cover the full.

Really interesting visit to the Assam State Museum. It had a whole range of artefacts, some going back thousands of years, other a few hundred, some relating to World War II and other even more recent The key was that these were all lovingly preserved and maintained as it showed assams history as well as indian history and how they two come together. Congrats to all those responsible

Assam State Museum is a huge one with many sections on various collections. The entry fee is nominal and the staff there tries to guide you through the museum. Some extension and renovation work is going on.

Its a must-visit for anyone interested in the cultural and historical heritage of Assam. It offers a comprehensive and informative experience in a serene and architecturally pleasing setting. Additionally, the region's climate, particularly during the winter months, is generally pleasant, making it a favorable time to explore the museum and other attractions in Assam.

The Assam State Museum is truly a gem! Its rich collection of artifacts and exhibits beautifully showcase the region's history, culture, and art. The well-curated displays offer an insightful journey through Assam's heritage, making it a must-visit for anyone interested in exploring the vibrant tapestry of this diverse state.
