The museum was established in April 1977[1] by the Tribal Research Institute under Education Department. From 1989, it came under Art and Culture department. The museum was earlier housed in a rented building but on 14 July 1990 it was moved to a new building, at Mc Donald Hill. The museum galleries have undergone a lot of renovation under the care of Indian Museum, Kolkata. Financial assistance was also received from Victoria Memorial, Kolkata.[2]
