Experience time travelling in Guwahati 

Travel through time as you step inside the Purbajyoti Museum, which lies within the premises of Srimanta Sankaradeva Kalakshetra. Its purpose is to cradle, preserve, and unveil the treasures of Assamese culture, alongside the rich heritage of North East India. Here, you can witness over 4000 artefacts that tell tales of timeless craftsmanship. Everything in this museum reflects the rich ingenuity of the region's artisans, from the mystical Sattriya masks to the ancient musical instruments, from the intricate terracotta and clay art to the traditional textiles. After visiting the museum, walk down the literature lanes at the institution’s in-house library, filled with old manuscripts and rare books.

If you are familiar with the world of Picasso and Vincent Van Gogh, you will fall in love with the vibe of the Lalit Kala wing that lies within Srimanta Sankaradeva Kalakshetra. It is a great platform for regional artists to showcase their work, and this wing has also hosted several exhibitions of renowned painters of the state and country. 

A place that puts a smile on every face

When a place is associated with art, culture, and heritage, it is often believed that there’s nothing to cater to or entertain children. However, Srimanta Sankaradeva Kalakshetra is not just for adults who embrace art, it is also a fun place for little adventurers. If you are visiting with kids, don’t worry about their entertainment. A recreational park within the campus allows children to play in the open ground and have fun on the rides and swings. The institution also houses a big outdoor theatre, where you can enjoy cultural programs under the open sky with your family and friends. Another major stop can be the Artists' Village, which reflects the charm of Assam's countryside, and not to forget the beautiful heritage park, where you can hop on a cable car and catch stunning views of the Shillong hills.
