Araku Tribal Museum

Araku Tribal Museum is located in Araku, a small town in the valley surrounded by hills and many waterfalls, about 110 km’s from Visakhapatnam. Most museums are famous for what they showcase and the galleries they curate for visitors. What makes Araku Valley Tribal museum stand out in my mind is its very structure which is indigenous, absolutely native, right from the architecture, to the material used, to colors and contours. A double-storeyed round building in red, with white motifs, painted on it. White window frames and white outlines standing on green lawns. One look and you know it represents the essence of an Indian community.
