Amazing, astonishing and worth visiting spot of the tour. A must visit place. This place feels so sacred, each and every aspect of the tribal life of the Araku people were preserved safely and securely.
Could upload few pictures as photography wasn't allowed inside.

Tribal museum the name itself hints us to know the lifes of hill tribes.
Tribal life since their birth to death as the museum portrays all stages of the tribal people since the ages with their statue type of human beings and farming, animal loving and how they preserve the nature , family traditions and customs, food habits etc.
It was displayed photos also.
It has shopping complex of local handicrafts toys and other wooden,jute products to buy .
Prices are on higher side.
Entrance ticket also high.
Children can enjoy as packaged game are available.
Nice display of local site seeing pics.
Food restaurant complex available inside the museum.
Still can improve a lot as one can understand lot of commercial interests are there instead of travellers or tourist interests are ignoring as i personally experienced.
Anyway all can enjoy.

It is one of the acclaimed places to visit in Araku Valley. Araku Tribal Museum is located in the small town of Araku, around 110 km of Visakhapatnam. Unlike other museums, which house historical items, the Tribal Museum showcases the artifacts from tribal life. The 2 storey Tribal building is built using the traditional indigenous materials such as mud, metals, etc and showcases native tribal architecture in the form of colors, motifs, and frames used.

The first floor of the red-colored rotund structure displays dioramas depicting tribal lifestyle, day-to-day kitchen utensils made of iron and mud, musical instruments, and wall paintings of market scenes and clay pottery. It exhibits local tribal dances of Mayur and Dhimsa from a range of festivals and life-sized figurines wearing vibrant clothing with matching accessories. The walls adorn the masks, and exotic artifacts belonging to the Tribal culture of Eastern Ghats. The second floor houses a souvenir shop and the Tribal Arts and Craft center. The center also houses 10 double rooms, public conveniences, and a cafeteria.
