Ever Living Museum

Wow, just wow! I was in awe while coming to this museum of treasures, I was wide-eyed with wonder like a child. In the museum there are artifacts painstakingly collected over the years to showcase the heritage of Meghalaya and the life of people. Loved seeing glimpses of homes of Meghalaya too, with neat depictions of exteriors and interiors. I was dazzled by the beautiful and colourful stones, gems and fossils - very rich natural heritage. And the beautiful variety of orchids and the insects around them were a wholesome experience. Abstractness and symbolism are presented too, with interesting scultpures. I could easily spend hours here. Totally recommend this place if you are interested in learning about cultural and natural heritage and you enjoy museums in general.

One of the best private museums. It highlights the evolution of Meghalaya and North East not only culturally but also geologically and from geographical point of view. We were personally guide by the Owner of the museum Mr Kyntiewbor War, who is passionate about preserving and spreading knowledge about the tribal cultural heritage of the Garo Khasis and Jaintia tribes of Meghalaya. He patiently explained to us many things among the many things, like how root bridges were designed and formed. He has also botanical garden set up with rare flowers and plants. If you are interested in history geography or botany. This is a must visit place..

Wonderful experience, you can see whole meghalaya in one place, owner is very nice gem of a person

Best Museum. You will find da Diverse Khasi n Garo culture here with Infinite varieties of Rare n Precious Stone collections from all over da India.

Owner is really Humble, Welcoming n Amiable Man.

I was amazed by the collection and dedication Mr. War, a retired engineer cum travel and explore enthusiast.

This is a private museum owned and maintained beautifully by himself. The collections are mainly his personal collections since his teenage.

There was a wide variety of natural stones and he is keen to explain about all of them to any visitor.

This is located in the outskirts of Shillong, almost 10 kms away from the city.

Beautiful place, it’s on the way to Sweet falls and it’s a must visit place… do visit

Great collection of artifacts and the owner of the Museum was very loving, enthusiastic, patriotic and energetic. Felt overwhelmed taking to him.

Not many people know of this place, but if in Shillong it's a must visit place. A single man's collection. Has very diverse range - exotic flowers and plants, tribal statues and huts, driftwood, rocks, coins, gems, wooden sculptures etc etc etc. Amazing stuff.

Away from the hustle bustle of the city, perfect place to spend the afternoon at, admist artifacts of Khasi and Garo culture and gaining the vanishing wisdom of heritage of Khasis and Garos, depicted by their olden days items in use.

Mr, War is the reason behind this museum. He's an enthusiastic collector with an eye for the art. Ancient coins, notes, gem stones, tribal equipment etc. can be found here. It's worth visiting here for an hour; then you can head to sweet falls which is nearby!

The musuem is personally owned by Mr. War. And I must say I'm amazed by how this person is maintaining this place without the help of govt. alone. And the collection man, it's something to lust for. He's definitely knowledgable and an explorer himself and everything from collecting to polishing to maintaining he handles on his own.

Mr. War personally guides the tourists throughout his musuem and is very friendly. I'd definitely suggest to pay a visit there.

The Museum is situated in Mawshbuit village and to reach there one needs to pass through Gorkha Rifles Training Center.

This museum is amazing. You could find everything special according to the lifestyles and traditions of the Khasi,Garo and other tribes of India. Would love to visit again..

I was among the first batch of interns there. It's an awesome place, the surrounding environment is so peaceful and calm. The stone museum there has a very rich collection of stones, fossils and many more things. The owner of the museum is a very humble, down to earth kind of person with an insane amount of knowledge about any and everything. Uncle's whole team is very kind and welcoming. May this museum grow even more, it deserves to be more popular.

It is really good and there are many rare artifacts, stones of different varieties and a great garden with lots and lots of rare flowers and orchids.

What I'm think that this is a private museum or collection, but the owner is sooooo kind and humble, soft spoken person i ever seen, please visit the place to see the culture of khasi tribe, there weapons to survive and lots more and there is a waterfall (Sweet Fall) at the distance of 2 kilometers from the museum.

The best museum in the state of Meghalaya depicting the vast majority of traditional and historical galleries

It's an experience you can't afford to miss. The owner of this private museum gives you a personal guided tour. It's small hidden jewel. I am not a native of this beautiful land but I respect this one man who is putting in a mighty effort for preservation and highlighting the Culture, traditions, flora, fauna and anecdotes of Meghalaya.

There was a wide variety of natural stones and he is keen to explain about all of them to any visitor.

This is located in the outskirts of Shillong, almost 10 kms away from the city.

This is a small and compact museum. Entry fee is 50 rupees. This is located on the way to sweet falls. Here you can see lots of collections of north east especially Shillong and can understand their culture. You can simply call it as micro version of Don Bosco Museum. Collections are awesome. Don't miss to see it.

The collection is good but the best part of the museum is the owner. Since he was a kid he started to collect stones and then tribal artifacts, devoting himself to preserve the native culture and the naturalistic heritage of Meghalaya. He has made many expeditions in his State and is a very inspiring person. We need more people like him!
