BOSCO MUSEUM at Mawlai, Shillong, inaugurated by Smt. Sonia Gandhi on
5th March, 2010 is a well-known tourist destination today. It showcases
the entire North East of India under one roof. The seven storey Museum
building rises into Shillong’s skyline as a unique and landmark
centre. The newly added skywalk provides the visitors a 360° view
of the beautiful Queen City of the North East, namely, the historic
Shillong. Equally attractive is the 28 feet by 25 feet relief map of
the North East in fibreglass. Soon to be added are a ten feet by six
feet fiberglass Map of Meghalaya [ a gift from the Director Tourism,
Meghalaya] and an equally large presentation of Shillong, both indicating
the places of tourist attraction. All the galleries in the Don Bosco
Museum are provided with Multimedia Presentations. Using state of the
art technology, the Museum opens the wide door of knowledge to its visitors.
The seven-storey Museum offers the visitor an unforgettable experience
of the North East by means of over 14 aesthetically pleasing and informative
galleries. It has an amazing collection of attire, accoutrements, weapons,
ornamentation and rare photographs. This is also the largest cultural
museum in the whole of Asia as far as indigenous cultures of the North
East are concerned.
