Museum of Himachal Culture & Folk Art

The museum is ok. You can visit here and see the vintage articles that people of HP used in yesteryears. Not fully maintained. The price of the tkt is INR 20. You can take photos and videos inside the museum. It's near to hidimba temple.

Good place to know detailed culture of Himachal Pradesh. No time limit for spending no restrictions for photography. 20rs is entry fee.

The Museum is a completely unique and awesome series of unknown and rare antiques of the kingdom. It demonstrates the almost extinct articles that in reality show the forgotten culture, artwork and handicraft of Himachal Pradesh. The Museum shows fashions of temples, antique houses and forts, conventional dresses, utensils, musical and ritual units, timber carvings and diverse other articles.
The museum is lovely but many artifacts and historic gadgets that can be of fascination to people journeying the location.  totally encouraged in case you want to get to recognise the local ancient history of the region. The museum is clean and well maintained and much less crowded for the reason that it would not appear to be a museum.  it's very well embellished with precise collectives of historical time.

No one there for guiding or taking care of this place nor explaining the information about things kept there, people are visiting inside with no common sense, making noise touching the artefacts and so on.i suggest the authority to give someone authority to take care of the museum.

Timings: 9 am - 5 pm.

Entry Fee: Rs 10 per person

It's very well decorated with unique collectives of ancient time.

A very interesting place to visit if you want to know about the history, food, culture and habits of the people of this region. We saw a lot of interesting artifacts such as cooking utensils, ornaments, weights/measures, models of historical buildings, wood carvings, vintage photographs, coins and tools.

It's a small museum so you can finish within 1 hour of timeline but it is definitely worth that time.

The Museum of Himachal Culture & Folk Art is one of Manali's major tourist attractions. The museum is a treasure of collection of traditional heritage from different parts of Himachal Pradesh since 1990.

The museum is okiesh. You'll find old himachali equipments that people used to use. This can be anything from musical equipment to daily use equipment. You can have a look since you're visiting manali

The museum is in total disarray. Needs maintenance, some of the items are fallen down within their container, a few are soaked in water (maybe because of the seepage). No information provided to some displays while the info given for others is limited to names.

It was good experience one time visit place obviously but I personally believe government should work more on the museum so that people attract more and visit with enthusiastic in the museum

This place is located on the way of hadimba Devi temple. If you have time and you like to visit ancient life and calture then you may visit this place.

Nice place to visit specially for those who visiting first time. You can keep in your memories that you have visited this place.

There are several artefacts that depict Himachal's culture and arts. Very clean and properly cared for. We must learn more about this lovely state, Himachal Pradesh, while we spend time in Shimla and Manali, and this museum gives us with valuable information on its history, attire, utensils, and tribal life. This is also close to the Hidimba temple. Manali is a must-see.

A small yet very informative museum. The collection is arranged and maintained neatly. Don't miss this place if you are a history lover.

Not recommended, it's private and very small.
Although you can go if you're beside hadimba temple and you've no where else to go for an hour and you just want to fill the void in your life. Anyway you've been filling the void in your life by unnecessary existing and watching Netflix, so why not this okayish museum

Such a detailed explanation in audio format regarding the culture of himachal stating their traditional clothes, vessels, construction, weaoons, jewellery etc. Neat maintenance. A nice place to know the culture in detail.

Museum is based on mainly Kullvi culture. Here you will find old things related to Kullvi community. Audio tours are also available. You will get to see and know many things by coming here.
