About Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Manav Sangrahalaya

Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Manav Sangrahalaya is an anthropological museum located within the Mysore region, forming part of a national network of institutions dedicated to documenting and preserving India's diverse human heritage and cultural traditions. Visitors can expect exhibitions exploring the customs, artefacts, dwellings and everyday practices of various communities from across the country, presented in both indoor galleries and, typically for this museum type, open-air settings that recreate traditional living environments. The museum offers a thoughtful counterpoint to Mysore's more celebrated royal and architectural attractions, appealing particularly to those interested in ethnography, folk traditions and the breadth of India's social history. It serves as a quiet, educational destination suited to unhurried exploration.
