Nice Museum
The Museum looks very small from the outside but it has enough space to tell you about a Manipur and its rich history, evolution and also about the natural distribution of flora, fauna, birds and pieces. There is a small amount of admission fee for foreigners and the lndians alike Recommended for all type of travelers.

Located in the heart of town, this museum charges Rs 3 for entry, bans bags and cameras and simultaneously reeks of government apathy and neglect. The hour or so you would spend in its poorly lit halls however exposes you to details of the history, culture and ethos of the land like no tour guide can. The sections on art and tribal and royal equipment and dresses is particularly notable. Only wish they maintained the lovely feature trove of information much better and did up the display aids and lighting, as also the work whos of their staff. But strictly on content, a must see, for an hour. This state run museum is just two km away from Imphal Airport and near the pologround. Mobile and camera are not allowed so that photos of the interior is not available. It displays the rich cultural heritage of the tribes and kings in Manipur in ancient eraIt is locates near pologround and has fairly handsome display of the state's heritage and a collection of portraits of Manipur's former rulers. Items of special interest are costumes, arms and weapons, relics and historical docunents. It opens at 10 a.m. and close at 4.30 p.mI find the archeological section worth visiting again. The history of Manipur right from palaeolithic to neolithic age is well preserved. Stone tools dating back to pre historic era extracted from Tharon, Khangui and khomunnom caves are displayed for viewers amazement. The authorities ( the security guard at the gate ) didn't let me carry my cellphone inside. I was surprised because so far in all state museums that I have visited, people can carry their handsets inside. Then I got another surprise, I saw other people with their Cellphones inside. So, if you are planning on visiting and clicking selfies with those historical , cultural , archeological artefacts , hide you cell inside your underwear or somewhere but do not submitMust visit place in Manipur. It has very beautiful collection of aquatic animals specimen. The art gallery is wonderful. Archeological gallery have good collection. One can easily spend 1-2hr there. Mobile and camera not allowed inside,so you cannot photograph inside

Fantastic Collection, Minor Makeover Needed
A rich collection by any standards. Tells a whole lot about Manipur's people, it's history, culture, geography, flora & fauna.....really worth a visit. A special mention of the sculpture of the "Meiti woman de-husking the Paddy"....it's so beautifully made that it appears as if she will just come to life....it's a real masterpiece. That said, the place does need a makeover at places, specially in terms of annotation of certain artefacts and using digital media processes to assist the visitors. Hope the concerned department take note and acts.
