Don Bosco Museum

It's a 7 storied building... The only concern was for those who can't use the stairs.. The North East side of our country is very clearly seen with lots of pics. Well maintained, clean and the automated lights..We enjoyed it. Don't miss the Museum. The view from the top is awesome 😎

A must watch place for the people who want to know more about northern east states and their history. There are a total of 7 floors (2 under the ground level and 5 at the top) which contains culture, attire, weapons, religion, livelihood of different tribes and locals of North Eastern India. Also a wonderful view point at the top of the museum where you can see the whole Shillong in a 360° view. The entry fee of the museum is 100 rupees per head and 100 rupees for one mobile (for capturing photos and videos).

As of my last knowledge update in January 2024, the Don Bosco Museum in Shillong, Meghalaya, is known for its rich display of cultural artifacts and vibrant exhibits showcasing the indigenous cultures of Northeast India. Visitors often praise its informative content and architectural design. For the latest reviews, I recommend checking online platforms like TripAdvisor or Google Reviews, where recent visitors share their experiences and opinions.

In Shillong's embrace, a haven stands tall,
Don Bosco Museum, a wondrous call.
Stories of tribes, cultures unite,
In halls of knowledge, vibrant and bright.

History's whispers in a colorful array.

In this museum, where cultures transcend.

In Don Bosco's embrace, the past gleams.

A museum that ignites curiosity's flight.
