Tripura State Museum

Established on June 22, 1970, the Tripura Government Museum, also known as the Tripura State Museum, stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the state. In a significant move, it was relocated to the majestic Ujjayanta Palace on September 25, 2013, with the official inauguration conducted by Hamid Ansari, the former Vice President of India. Nestled in Agartala, the capital city of Tripura, this museum holds the distinction of being the largest in North-east India, offering a "National perspective while remaining focused on Tripura and northeast India."

 

Housed within the regal walls of the Ujjayanta Palace (Nuyungma in Tripuri language), the museum boasts a diverse collection of archaeological treasures, including sculptures, terracotta, bronze images, coins from the Tripuri kingdom, paintings, and other historical artifacts excavated from various sites in Tripura.
