This gallery has a rich collection of musical instruments : the perhkhung of the Mizos, the chirgring of the Garos, the duitara of the Rabhas, the marynthing of the Khasis, the saranga of the Tiwas and variety of other instruments make this gallery both attractive and instructive.

In times past the tribes in North East India lived in isolation, cut off from one another. Raids and fights for survival were not uncommon. Each tribe developed its own weapons both for defense and for offence. This gallery displays these traditional weapons used by the different tribes. They are the cultural artefacts of the past, and at the same time, they are filled with memories of how people struggled for survival.
