Located at a hill top with amazing scenic view of the whole Kohima town. You can find restaurants and local markets nearby too. Museum is very beautiful with Naga traditional lifestyle and way of life on display from ancient times. Ground floor has some artifacts. First floor has all the interesting and traditional stuff- from weapons to shawls, necklaces, ethnic wear of all tribes of Nagaland. Top floor has all the beautiful Naga traditional shawls and ethnic wear representing all tribes. Well maintained and kept clean. Security cameras on all floor for safety. There is even a photo booth inside. Unfortunately you have to pay 50 rupees for taking photos, 100 for videos and 1000 for professional videography. You can get ticket at counter for 10 rupees per person. Outdid the building you can find some traditional things too. At the entrance there are some artifacts/art installation as well. You can learn all about Naga traditions and lifestyles here. You can also ask for a guided tour of the museum. Small museum but very informative and educational.

A collection of samples from all the tribes of Nagaland related to traditional attire, huts and jewellery. Very beautifully curated and placed in easy to see racks. Very impressive, lively, wax statues of different Naga tribes. The expression on the faces of statues is priceless.

The state museum has a lot to offer, specially for those travelling with less time in hand. A true glimpse of what Naga life is like, along with key cultural highlights.
Do visit this place when in Kohima!
