Museum And Centre Of Tribal Culture-Ranchi-Jharkhand

The Tribal Museum is a part of the Dr Ram Dayal Munda Tribal Welfare Research Institute located at Tagore Hill, Morabadi. It houses dioramas depicting the traditional livelihoods of the 32 tribes of Jharkhand. Each diorama created by the sculptor Amitava Mukherjee—who is an alumnus of the Government Art College, Kolkata—depicts a nuclear family in a rural setup.
